Life beyond Lancaster Environment Centre
David repaid Lancaster’s faith in him after achieving poor A-Level results, by going on to be a successful academic, now lecturing in water engineering and fluid mechanics at London South Bank University. Whilst at Lancaster, David also established himself firmly in both the squash team and Lancaster’s music scene over the five years that he spent at the university.
Gwyn was attracted to studying at Lancaster due to its balance between city and campus, providing the best of both worlds. Whilst studying, Gwyn enjoyed expanding his skill-set, particularly learning how to use GIS, whilst his project and time management skills are essential to his current role as a Transport Planner.
Max highlights the skills that he gained whilst studying BSc Geography at undergraduate and from his PgCert in Flood & Coastal Risk Management as fundamental to his current role as a hydraulic modeller. However, Max’s time at Lancaster also saw him develop as a person, making long-lasting friendships, with fond memories of international field-trips to Iceland and Spain.
Lancaster University’s Faculty of Science and Technology’s internships provided Cara with the experience required for her current job role, whilst the flexibility of courses within LEC allowed Cara to develop a broad range of skills, fully preparing her for current role as a Sustainability Analyst.
After completing his BSc Geography degree, Thomas then decided to undertake a masters in sustainable water management, learning key skills which he now uses on a daily basis, developing hydraulic models to assess flood risks as a graduate modeller.
Completing both BSc and PhD Geography, Rebecca now works as an Editorial Assistant for the Journal of Experimental Botany (JXB), a leading plant science journal based at Lancaster University.
Completing a Natural Sciences degree based in LEC allowed Chelsea flexibility in her degree, and had ultimately led to a change in direction from Environmental Science to Nutrition!
I am currently 4 months into my Master’s in Contamination, Risk Assessment and Remediation at Lancaster University which incorporates everything from studying pollution microbiology and remediation strategies to undertaking chemical risk assessments on real-life situations in the environment.
Following her valuable voluntary work, Brittany recently became a Project Co-ordinator for a charity called the Carbon Literacy Project.
After completing her Biological Sciences degree, Ali took a change of direction and is now working towards a career in law.
BeyondLEC is part of Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University.
