Student Profile(s)
Jonathan Butland
Prior to attending the University of Portsmouth, Jon completed a BSc (Hons) in Geology, achieving a 2:1, at the University of Plymouth.
I decided to do a Master’s course because I wanted to further my knowledge and techniques in a subject I had enjoyed so much at undergraduate level. I also felt a Master’s degree is likely to increase my chances of success when looking for jobs in the future.
The University of Portsmouth has a great reputation within the geology industry and has a high employability rate. I discovered many work colleagues in the industry, and lecturers from other universities, hold Master’s or Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Portsmouth and recommended Portsmouth to me.
Furthermore, recommendations from undergraduate lecturers and postgraduate alumni have also highlighted Portsmouth as a good place to undertake a Master’s degree.
Once I complete my Master’s degree I intend to work within the Geology industry. I will then perhaps consider doing a PhD.
