Yes URP may be professional course that a reason I think you shouldnt waste five years in studying it. And moreover if d geography is applied i mean attach with other course let say enviromental sciences it more good. Studying geography gives more opens opportunities even if there is need to change career path while URP don't. If u study geography i think u can write d professional exam for URP. so go for Geography 1 Like 1 Share |

gregyboy:Oga, are you teaching me what I spent 4 years studying? We are talking about the almost 0% viability of these courses in the Nigerian labour market. If we are talking about some western countries then yes, they are good courses but here in Nigeria, don't even advice your enemy to waste their time on them. |

Pls ask him to choose Geography. Geography has more applications, while URP is limited to planning. With Geography, he can go into Cartography, GIS, Information Technology, Hydrology, Geo informatics and many other fields. Work prospects are also quite better for Geography majors, if you specialize. You can work in Oil and Gas, Surveying, Engineering/Planning, Data collection and development. You can also work in the IT field. I am talking from experience because i have applied myself in these areas with a B.SC in Geography and a masters in GIS. |

Re: Geography Vs Urban & Regional Planning: Which Should He Go For? by Nobody: 10:00pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Let him go for urp. Urban planning is good Reasons are 1. It will make him use his imagination more since the course involves design work 2. The course is very underrated but is actually a good course Nigeria is suffering from poor urban development so more urban planners like me and may him will restructure the urban pattern in Nigeria |
