This would be a great opportunity for grade 12 Geography students who are interested in Environmental Sciences study.
Yes! Even life sciences students. Please share with people you know might benefit from it🙂
I didn't do geography in matric but I'm doing environmental sciences
I have not studied maths so can i master in Envirenmental sciences? Please
Well, it depends on the university you want to go to. For some institutions it is a requirement but for some it isn't
I am working as an Environment Engineer. Completed my Masters in Environment Management and working in this department.Also I have a passion to teach students about Environment and Current Technology to resolve the problem related to Air,water and Soil. I am happy to be the part of Environment Community 🙂
That's amazing!!! I'm happy to meet you :D
i always come back to your videos to motivate me as to why i started studying this at first. thank you
Thank you so much I am doing my final year in this field and I was so unmotivated because of listening to the naysayers saying it’s no longer in demand and I was so frustrated
Glad you found the video useful🙂
I subscribed because you more into Conserving and Preserving🌱 I really like what you doing and people like you motivate me cause I’m doing Ecology and Game Management or as a whole Game Ranch Management🙃
Thank you so much😊. That's amazing, I did a project on management of a nature reserve last year, so environmental/ wildlife management is actually a field I want to explore.
@@KatlegoMakgopo ❤️ maybe one day we’ll intersect each other who knows but good luck on everything🙏🏾
Yes🙂
Good luck to you too
And I shared the video with my roommates and first year mates I hope they determined just like I’m determined
Thank you so much
This is helpful
Just started following you
Thank you so much I'm in grade 12 and I take geography and life science and this really helped me .
You remind me so much of a friend I have that lives in the Caribbean. It feels like it's her giving me all this advice. Thank you 🤍
That's so sweet, thank you 💛
This video is very necessary. Both for people in this field and those not in it. Thanks for sharing.😊
You're welcome, ans thank you for watching😁
Thank you love for posting this. 😭
New sub here , I am officially apart of the family thanks for the great advice 💎🔥👑
Woooh, this is amazing, am a third year student taking Bcs in Environmental science
Wow desame with me I will like us to link up
Thank you so much Aus'Katlego😍
Love your channel, youre doing great job explaining the differences!
Thank you 😊
Wow... very informative. Thanks hey
Thank you Katlego!
Is Environmental Science still a career in demand putting into consideration the current state of the economy in terms of unemployment and the effects of covid-19 (retrenchments)
Hi. With the current state of our economy due to the pandemic, I honestly can't give a straight answer. What I have come to realise is, plenty opportunities are available in this field. However, you need to have postgraduate qualifications. For example, if you are/planning to go in this field you need to atleast get to Master's level
And I'm also interested in how to conserve it so it won't lead to further damage.
Thank ou very much for this useful info😍
Thank you for watching
Thanks for the video,will surely share it with other groups as it is very informative.I just have a question,what is your advise for environmental consultants who just started off and want growth?
Thank you 😊
Your best bet is to study further, especially in the field of consultancy you are in. Second, you can look for a mentor, someone who has been doing consultancy for a while who can guide you
Thank you so much for this video. I was actually thinking of studying Environmental Science after I've graduated for Urban and Regional Planning because I believe there's a link between these fields.
Which Universities are more likely get a job after studying Environmental Science?
Thank you for watching!🙂
If it's something you like and are interested in, then definitely go for it. I can't say I know which university gives an advantage because different universities offer different variations of this qualification. For example, Unisa, UP etc offer qualifications in Env.c conservation, Env. management and the likes at undergrad levels. While other institutions only have options for postgraduate degrees.
My advice is to find which field within Environmental Sciences you are most interested in and take it from there. That should help you find the right institution.
Hope that helps🙂
OMG I double major in Environmental Science concentrating in geography and Urban Planning
Thank you so much
this is really cool ..thankyou.
Thank you, this was informative.
Very informative 🌼🌼
I am in high school and I am very interested in going into environmental science. What courses do you recommend me taking to line myself up for success in higher education?
Hi Abigail. Definitely take science subjects, for example mathematics, life science and geography
@@KatlegoMakgopo Thank you so much for the advice! ♥️♥️
Hi I'm really interested in the aquatic places of rivers and beaches in order to check if there's pollution in the water and if there are pollution nearby I'm not interested in the political part about it.
Hi 😊
Well in that case you can do a BSc degree and major in Aquatic Sciences.

Well in that case you can do a BSc degree and major in Aquatic Sciences.

What if you didn't study geography in high school,do you need to spend a year studying geography?
Not really, in some universities geography is not a requirement for a BSc degree (unless you want to major in geography in undergrad)
Hey katlego❤️, im doing a BSc in environmental and water science at UWC. Is it similar to environmental science?
Yes it is, remember Environmental Sciences is very broad and includes things like botany, entomology, aquatic science etc.
Okay thanks 😊❤️
@@aphelelesibali2474am studying environmental management and pollution control in university planning to go for masters but am comfuse
Hey Katlii 🤍I'm new subbie . Do environmental scientist work at mines as well?
Hello Karel 😊👋🏽. Yes, they do.
Hi Katlego. I have completed my BA environmental management degree and struggling to find a job. Do you have any advice for me to get into the field? Most jobs require a BSc, so I'm already limited.
Honestly, I would advice that you still apply to jobs even if they say BSc. This is because even though your qualification may say BA, environmental management is still a discipline within the environmental sciences field.
Also, you are looking to further your studies I would suggest an honours degree in the science faculty. You would qualify since you have an undergraduate degree and I think it may solve the BA / BSc limitation.
A
@@KatlegoMakgopo Thank you Katlego! I'm trying everything I can. I apply for jobs I don't even qualify for so I'm not giving up.
Keep up the good work!
@@kimonagovender8647 hey.. hows it going? all the best!
How about geology? N is this environmental science in demand in South Africa?
Geology is a different field altogether and unfortunately I do not have an opinion since I am not in that field. However I think it would be a good idea to have somebody from that side on the channel so we can explore the differences in detail🤔
@Forchperry No, it's not.
GOOD EVENING AUS KATLEGO, I DID MY HONOURS DEGREE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES AND GEOGRAPHY 6 YEARS AGO HOWEVER DUE TO NOT GETTING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES RELATED OPPORTUNITIES, I ENDED UP GOING INTO TEACHING WHICH I THINK IT IS LIMITING ME AND I CANNOT UTILIZE MY SKILLS. IVE BEEN TRYING TO CHECK MANY COMPANIES THT CAN OFFER ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE MY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES CAREER AND GAIN MORE EXPERIENCE BUT NO LUCK. MAJORED WITH GIS AND REMOTE SENSING, ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, MY RESEARCH TOPIC WAS "IMPACT OF MINING ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY" CAN YOU PLEASE ADVICE ON WHICH STEPS I SHOULD TAKE TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPANIES?
Hello Tshepo
It is a good thing that you have teaching experience. That is good experience. Do not limit yourself to what you studied, do just go out and look for jobs in those fields. The good thing about having a degree and Honours is that you are able to learn something new. There are so many other opportunities you can look into. For example, SANPARKS, SAEON, SANBI, SAAIB. So the things were they tell you it's about conservation or botany, you should also look into that. The bottom like is don't limit yourself look for opportunities beyond what you studied (of course they must be related but they don't necessarily have to be exactly what you studied). I hope this helps
hello i just need to ask few questions i hope you don't mind me asking.. lately ive been having an interest in doing environmental management . i have a degree in Public Admin do you think it would be wise to just go straight to Honors degree. or i should just start the degree from undergrad
Hey. That will depend on the institution you are interested in attending. Remember for certain postgraduate courses you need to have prerequisite courses that you've done in undergrad in order to qualify. I personally do not see a problem with going straight to Honours for an environmental management degree, but speak to the admin at your institution to find out if you qualify.
Already checked with Unisa i qualify to do Bachelor of Arts Honors: just wanted to find out if I got straight to honors will I get as much knowledge that can help me grow in Environmental career
If that's what they say I would guess it means in order to qualify for a postgraduate degree in the sciences you would need to do undergrad science courses.
However, in terms of knowledge I really can't say because it depends on the area you want to focus on in Env. Sciences. But it's all up to you really. Yes, it's nice knowing a whole bunch of things from undergrad but you may need to be realistic in terms of whether you are prepared to start over with a new undergrad degree.
Hey. I’ve come to realize that i am into sustainability and the zero waste, climate change etc ... are such subjects covered in environmental sciences? Like would you recommend i go for the degree?
Yes, they are subjects in Environmental Sciences. If these are topics you are truly interested in, then definitely go for it. You'll learn a lot!😊
I think it should be VERY socially acceptable to be able to do what you want should you do this degree lol..it covers a shit load
Relatively
There's still a bit of skepticism around the career, mostly because of a lack of information though
Girl, do you have links to the corporate option. I'm highly interested in that one.
Just search 'Environmental consulting', a bunch should come up
Is animal study included?
Yes
Hello I’ve a degree in environmental science and I’m a bit confused cause I don’t really know where I would like to work
Can you recommend me plz
