The Career Plan essay is your canvas to paint a vivid picture of your career aspirations for your country/community and how the Chevening Scholarship will propel you towards your goals. Here are some tips and an outline to help you craft a compelling Career Plan essay:

Outline Tips for the Career Plan Essay:

Outline: You should follow the standard rule of writing an essay.

INTRODUCTION

Write one paragraph with a clear statement to introduce the problem in your country, your goals to tackle them and your vision/impact once you achieved your goals.

Introduction of the problem

Before you talk what you want to do, it is important to first tell what the problem is. Providing solutions without describing what the problem is, is not logical of course.

What is the problem?

How many people are impacted?

What is your vision?

This means, after you explain your goals, your vision should appear.

Short term Goals

Short term goals are normally for 1-5 years upon your return.

Mid-term Goals

Mid-term goals are between 5-15 (average 10 years) after you return to you home country.

Long term Goals

Long-term goals are typically 15-25 years

Tips for Writing a Career Plan Essay:

Start with Clarity: Begin by clearly articulating your career goals. What impact do you aspire to make in your field and community, and how?

Pathway to Success: Describe the steps you plan to take to achieve your goals. This includes short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals.

Alignment with Course: Explain how your chosen course or program aligns with your career aspirations. How will it provide the necessary skills and knowledge?

Impactful Vision: Showcase your vision for how your career will address a critical issue or problem in your country or field. Highlight the significance of your work.

⚗️ Part 2: Problem, Solution, and Impact

Beyond career aspirations, Chevening Scholars are expected to be Agents of Change, and are expected to think about how they can contribute to solving pressing problems in their countries or fields. Here's a framework to consider:

Problem: Identify a significant issue or challenge in your country or field that you're passionate about addressing.

Solutions: Describe the short-term, mid-term, and long-term solutions you envision to tackle this problem. These become your goals in the course of the next 1-20 years.

Impact: Explain the positive impact your proposed solutions will have. How will they transform your community, country, or field?

Vision: Summarize your overarching vision for your role in creating positive change. What legacy do you aspire to leave behind?

This part of your essay demonstrates your commitment to making a difference and aligns with Chevening's mission to empower future leaders who are dedicated to improving the world.

🏗️ Example:

In the short term, my focus will be on building a robust foundation for my career as a Women's Rights activist in Iran. Over the next 1-5 years, I aim to achieve the following:

Raise Awareness: Launch targeted awareness campaigns to highlight the pressing issues faced by women in Iran, including discriminatory laws and practices. Utilize social media, workshops, and partnerships with local organizations to amplify the voices of marginalized women.

Legal Advocacy: Collaborate with legal experts and organizations to challenge discriminatory laws and policies through legal means. Work towards the repeal of laws that perpetuate gender inequality and advocate for the enforcement of existing laws protecting women's rights.

Mid-term Goals (5-15 Years): In the mid-term, spanning 5-15 years, I envision building on the foundation laid in the short term and expanding my impact:

Policy Reform: Engage in sustained advocacy efforts to influence policy changes at the national level. Collaborate with like-minded organizations and activists to draft and promote legislation aimed at gender equality and the protection of women's rights.

Crisis Intervention: Develop a comprehensive crisis intervention system to provide immediate assistance to women facing domestic violence, discrimination, or other forms of abuse. Establish safe shelters and helplines for those in need.

Long-term Goals (15-25 Years): Looking 15-25 years into the future, my long-term goals are aimed at creating a lasting legacy for gender equality in Iran:

Cultural Transformation: Work towards a cultural shift that recognizes and celebrates the contributions of women in all aspects of society. Promote gender-sensitive education and media representation to challenge stereotypes and biases.

Political Participation: Encourage women's active participation in politics and decision-making processes. Support women to run for political office and ensure their voices are heard at all levels of government.

International Collaboration: Foster international collaboration with women's rights organizations and activists to apply global pressure on Iran to uphold human rights and gender equality standards. Engage with international bodies to monitor and report on the state of women's rights in Iran.

Vision: My overarching vision is to see Iran as a nation where women enjoy full and equal rights in all spheres of life, where gender-based discrimination is eradicated, and where every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential. I envision a society that embraces diversity and empowers women to be leaders, decision-makers, and agents of positive change.

Using the methods explained above (STAR AND SMART Approach), ensure that you speak on the times you have depicted leadership traits, the leadership positions you have occupied and the times you have displayed a position of influence. These can range from managerial positions, leadership in organizations (NGO's included), or in your day-to-day life. In addition, you can touch on what leadership ambitions you have and how this ties back to your community.

It is important to ensure that the examples are impact-driven and not only for self-gain.

Chevening is looking for individuals with strong professional relationship-building skills, who will engage with the Chevening community and influence and lead others in their chosen profession. Please explain how you build and maintain relationships in a professional capacity, using clear examples of how you currently do this, and outline how you hope to use these skills in the future. - Question as per the Chevening Website

In addition, highlight how these said relationships have been instrumental in your personal development and the work that you do. Ensure that you are able to glean from every example the skill acquired and how these skills will be useful to you in the future as a possible Chevening scholar.

You too are welcome to link your journey thus far, to how this informs your next career move, namely pursuing a masters degree. You should depict an understanding of what you want to do in the future, how this is tangibly attainable, and what your ambitions are long term.

Introduction to the Chevening Personal Statement

The Chevening Scholarship, a renowned UK government-funded program, offers a transformative opportunity for ambitious individuals to pursue postgraduate studies in the UK.

Integral to the Chevening application is the personal statement, a pivotal document that distinguishes you in a highly competitive candidate pool.

This blog explores essential strategies for crafting a compelling personal statement, emphasizing your unique strengths and aligning them with the Chevening ethos.

Understanding the Importance of the Personal Statement in the Chevening Application

Your personal statement is not just an essay; it’s a narrative of your journey, ambitions, and potential as a future leader. It’s your chance to convey to the selection committee why you stand out from other candidates, how the Chevening Scholarship aligns with your career aspirations, and how you intend to leverage this opportunity for your personal growth and the betterment of your community.

As a professional, I must attend field trips with farmers and laborers who have undergone training or attend seminars or group discussions held. Through these experiences, my leadership abilities must be demonstrated. I possess excellent management, leadership, and operational abilities as well as a broad practical and theoretical knowledge of projects such as Project Management, Climate Change & Disaster Management, Agriculture Planning & Food Security Disaster Response Sustainable coastal livelihoods Physical & Social Survey Techniques (qualitative/quantitative), Geographic Information System (GIS) Report Writing Qualitative In addition To Quantitative Methods Research etc..

Leadership abilities have the power to shape people’s environments, and can be passed down from family members or close relatives. A leader must put their plans into action with determination, vision, and perseverance for results. At the university, I was part of various cultural groups and organized successful programs. After graduating, I decided to work with street children but lacked enough money for schooling. No matter how many times I tried to open a school, my drive never wavered. To reach my goals, I sought ways to make them happen; so after consulting with friends about my idea and visiting teachers to convince them of its viability, we launched Our Education Training for street children as an initiative.

Leaders must be dedicated to their job and put in the effort, as dedication and perseverance play a crucial role. They aren’t those who seek out opportunities; rather, they create them by applying vision and perseverance towards an ideal. As a new leader, I feel I’ve made great achievements thus far; however, to further hone my leadership qualities I plan to enhance both education and professional capabilities by learning more about people development through service to my country and society. With this knowledge gained, I hope to serve my nation for its improvement through service towards its people.

2- Chevening seeks individuals with strong relationship-building capabilities, who can engage within the Chevening community and motivate others in their field of expertise. Demonstrate how you create and maintain professional connections, giving specific examples of your accomplishments; also discuss how these abilities will be employed in the future (minimum word count: 100 words; maximum word count: 500 words).

Chevening scholarships have given me the chance to meet people from many cultures. If I were chosen as the winner, I hope to build relationships with Chevening graduates and company representatives to find better solutions for environmental foreign policy – since these issues concern us all. My life experiences have given me opportunities to connect with hundreds of people from various countries, religions, cultures, and professions; now through Chevening’s scholarship program I hope to connect even more people around the world!

My work at a non-profit organization has given me the chance to connect with many networks. I’ve formed connections with donor organizations, local stakeholder groups and community members alike. Additionally, as organizer of trainings, seminars and campaigns I was able to build rapport with experts in the field. So I participated in numerous field trips including one for farmers living rurally as well as urban slum dwellers; gathering data regarding their problems before presenting it in writing to authorities or daily newspapers. Now my aim is to build an effective network to address these matters efficiently.

My network skills are used to support my job responsibilities, personal growth and gathering data that can inform strategic actions. As I progress in my profession, I will devote more time to using my network for guidance when making decisions. Since many issues I need to solve and the results I must deliver require collaboration with people both inside and outside my network; thus, in addition to connecting with those within and outside of my professional environment I also plan on expanding it outside these immediate circles.

Thus, I will not settle for a casual presence but will remain active through social media platforms such as Emails, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. With passion and determination I aim to expand my networking experiences and knowledge so that I may contribute towards improving my country and contributing towards everyone’s wellbeing.

3- Outline the reasons you selected these three courses for your university education and how they relate to both your prior professional or academic experience and future plans. Do not duplicate information already filled out on the education and work experience section of this application (minimum word count 100 words; maximum word count 500 words).

As a disaster management expert and agriculturalist, my knowledge makes me particularly sensitive to environmental concerns. Currently employed as the Project Officer for Charity Foundation – a national NGO – my projects revolve around environmental protection, climate change adaptation strategies in agriculture as well as other sectors.

While completing my Master’s studies, I became deeply engaged in climate change issues that impact urban slum dwellers’ quality of life. I have been exploring the impacts of climate change on five assets for livelihood, as outlined in the Sustainable Livelihood Framework from DFID. My undergraduate research focused on discovering alternative sources of chemical pesticides to control plant diseases through plant tissue cultivation, genetic engineering and biotechnological advancement. Through bio-control agents and botanical extracts, I’ve provided biologically eco-friendly alternatives to seed-borne and soil-borne fungal pathogens. To date, three papers have been published and several more are under examination.

My courses from esteemed UK universities are focused on environmental change and management, which can have disastrous results if not managed effectively. Since my master’s program in Environmental Change and Management overlaps with my professional and academic interests in environmental engineering and project management, this field was an obvious choice for me to further hone. Environmentalism also plays a large role in international development – something which challenges both my professional and academic abilities to the limit.

I hope to further cement myself as an environmental expert by expanding my knowledge and experience.

4- Chevening seeks individuals with clearly stated post-study career plans. You should include both your immediate objectives upon return home as well as long-term plans that align with what the UK administration is currently doing in your home country (minimum word count: 100 words; maximum word count: 500 words).

My country faces numerous UK priorities, but the one most relevant to my goals is Environment and Climate Change. Bangladesh has always been vulnerable to natural disasters due to climate change, rising sea levels, and higher temperatures that pose greater threats. Development in our country is necessary and I aspire to contribute my expertise in this area in order to benefit my people and my nation. By sharing what I know with others, I hope to give something back and make a positive impact on my home turf. I want to contribute towards the development of my nation and make a larger impact. Bangladesh’s frequent disasters and their effects on agriculture pose risks to livelihoods such as hunger, poverty, unemployment insecurity, malnutrition, loss of food production and migration into cities.

After I finish my MSc program, I plan to specialize in climate change and environmental problems. As an environmental expert, I will work with research institutions or institutes. With my dedication and extensive experiences from the UK, I am certain that with determination and hard work I will be able to surpass expectations and contribute significantly towards Bangladesh’s progress in the near future.

HYPOTHETICAL RESPONSE: I possess the qualities and experiences necessary to meet Chevening’s requirement of being a future leader or influencer in my home country. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have consistently demonstrated leadership and influencing skills, which I intend to develop further during my time in the UK.

One significant example of my leadership ability is when I served as the president of a student organization during my undergraduate studies. In this role, I successfully led a team of diverse individuals toward a common goal. I organized events, managed budgets, and ensured effective communication among team members. Through this experience, I not only honed my organizational and managerial skills but also learned the importance of collaboration and teamwork in achieving objectives. I organized a symposium titled Life after Undergraduate Studies. This symposium recorded 1000 participants including the vice chancellor of the university and several guest speakers.

In my professional life, I have held a position as a project manager in a non-governmental organization focused on environmental conservation. During my tenure, I initiated a campaign to raise awareness about sustainable practices in our community. Through strategic planning and effective communication, I garnered support from local businesses, government agencies, and community members. This campaign resulted in a significant reduction in environmental degradation in our area. My ability to mobilize resources and inspire action illustrates my capacity to influence positive change.

Furthermore, my involvement in advocating for educational reform in my home country underscores my commitment to becoming a future influencer. I have actively participated in discussions with policymakers and educational institutions, presenting innovative ideas to improve the quality of education and access for underprivileged communities. My efforts have contributed to policy changes and the implementation of programs aimed at bridging educational disparities.

I intend to capitalize on the world-class education and networking opportunities Chevening offers to further enhance my leadership and influencing skills.

This academic experience will provide me with the knowledge and expertise needed to address pressing challenges effectively.

In conclusion, my track record of leadership roles and influencing outcomes, coupled with my dedication to addressing pressing issues in my home country, makes me a strong candidate for Chevening’s mission of nurturing future leaders and influencers. My time in the UK will serve as a transformative experience, equipping me with the skills, knowledge, and network needed to make a lasting positive impact on my community and beyond.

HYPOTHETICAL RESPONSE: I have meticulously selected my three university courses for the Chevening Scholarship with a clear vision of how each choice aligns with my previous academic and professional experiences and contributes to my plans.

This knowledge will enable me to lead public projects that are not only cost-effective but also yield significant social benefits.

My third choice of the Public Engagement and Sustainability program at University College London reflects my passion for environmental conservation and community engagement. Over the years, I have been actively involved in environmental initiatives and community outreach programs. The intersection of public engagement and sustainability is crucial for addressing the global climate crisis and promoting responsible citizenship.

University College London’s program offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines sustainability studies with effective public engagement strategies. By enrolling in this program, I will gain a deeper understanding of sustainable practices and the means to engage communities in adopting them. This knowledge will be instrumental in my long-term career goal of advocating for sustainable policies, promoting eco-friendly practices, and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility in my home country.

In conclusion, my choice of these three university courses is a strategic step in my journey to becoming a global leader who can drive positive change in my home country. These programs will not only enrich my academic and professional knowledge but will also empower me to tackle complex issues related to public policy, project management, sustainability, and community engagement.

5 things no one tells you about the Chevening Scholarship

Getting paid to go to school is possibly every student’s dream. What better way to achieve that dream than through scholarships? The Chevening Scholarship is one of the fully-funded scholarships available for international students to pursue a one-year master’s degree in the UK.

Recipients have a free pass to join exclusive events and training as well as meet and build a global network with like-minded people from around the world. Most importantly, awardees can study worry-free, with their fees and expenses being fully covered.

Sounds too good to be true? Here are five not-so-known things about the prestigious Chevening Scholarship:

Things they don’t tell you about the Chevening Scholarship

1. align your goals with the uk to improve your chances of winning a chevening scholarship .

Applicants should check the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)’s development tracker as well as the UK government’s News and Communications section. Source: Cris Bouroncle/AFP

The UK benefits from having friends around the world. These include Chevening Scholarship recipients who are striving to realise the same goals as the UK.

You can show you aspire to be one of them in the essays you’ll write as part of the application process for the Chevening Scholarship. The essay topics explore your leadership and influence, network, reasons for studying in the UK and your career plan.

Here are two ways you can identify the UK’s priority areas in your home country:

First, check the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)’s development tracker . Here, you will see countries the UK is funding for this year. Once you’ve found your home country, you can fully access information on past and present projects that are or have been funded by the UK.

Another way is to look at the UK government’s News section. This monitors projects and gives you an overview of the latest developments. Let the interview committee know you’re aware of these and want to forge a future based on the same goals. This will give you an edge. Find a more detailed explanation here .

2. You can claim refunds

As an international student, you are entitled to both tax refunds and Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds. Source: Justin Tallis/AFP

There are two types of tax refunds you are entitled to as an international student in the UK.

Firstly, tax refunds. If you have undertaken a job, either part-time or vacation — you may need to pay Income Tax and National Insurance . In the case where you have paid income tax for those jobs, you are entitled to tax refunds or national insurance.

However, there are some double-taxation agreements that show you don’t pay UK tax on your income if you work while you’re a student. Check here if your country has such an agreement with the UK.

Secondly, Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds. If you bought anything in the UK within the last three months , you might be eligible for a refund. You’ll have to confirm you won’t enter the UK or EU for the next 12 months on student visas, short-term visas and tourist visas.

If you would like to claim VAT refunds and aren’t planning to return to the UK any time soon, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to claim VAT refunds.

3. A rumoured “reserves list”

It is reported that some students received emails from the Chevening Scholarship board, mentioning that they’ve been placed on a reserves list. Source: Jeff Pachoud/AFP

Some applicants have reportedly received emails from the scholarship board, mentioning that they’ve been placed on a “reserves list”.

There are no sources confirming or explaining what being on the “reserves list” means. Previous Awardees shared that if you’ve been placed on the reserves list, you might still have a chance to be awarded the Chevening Scholarship. Check out this success story of a student from the “reserves list,” who eventually went on to become a Chevening Scholar.

4. English requirements are no longer needed

The Chevening Scholarship no longer requires its applicants to show proof of their English proficiency. Source: Thomas Coex/AFP

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult and, in most cases, inaccessible for students to take the required English tests. To standardise the scholarship application sessions for 2022, the scholarship committee waived the English proficiency requirement .

In light of this, many UK unis have also expanded their list of acceptable qualifications for entry. The best thing to do is to check with your individual universities if they still expect proof of English test requirements.

5. You don’t have to be a first class student

International students don’t have to be first class honours degree holders to apply for the Chevening Scholarships. Source: Oli Scarff/AFP

While it’s true that applicants typically need to have an upper second class 2:1 honours degree , they don’t have to first-class graduates to apply for the scholarship.

Take John Ogunjimi , for instance. Ogunjimi is a 2020 Chevening Scholar who decided to pursue a master’s degree in Forensic Science. Although he only had a lower second class 2:2, the Chevening Scholarship committee looked at his experiences, dreams and passions. This shows that it boils down to your ability to demonstrate your goals and vision for your future — and maybe even that of your sector or your country — that’ll distinguish you from others.

Who is a typical Chevening Scholar?

The first step in getting any scholarship, including Chevening, is to make sure you are eligible to apply. If you do not yet meet some requirements, you can then make the effort to add it to your portfolio. For the Chevening, there are four pillars qualities you must possess to be awarded a Scholarship. In the order of importance, number one is;

Demonstrate Leadership Potential

For Chevening Scholarship the flagship quality is leadership potential. Academic performance is the background, but the most important quality is your demonstrated ability to lead. This does not mean that you should have held a political position or headed an organization. You just have to possess the innate qualities of a leader. How do you stand out? Are you proactive? Are you a problem solver and innovative? Have you initiated something to bring about change or solution to a problem individually or as a team? These are all qualities of a leader.

The second pillar quality is…

Demonstrate Ability to Communicate Effectively

Beyond leadership, you must be able to communicate with people effectively. You cannot be a leader in isolation. You should be able to meet and interact with people. Your ability to communicate effectively will the accessed from your application and during interviews.

The third pillar quality is…

Have a Future Plan

Are you ambitious and have a plan for your life? Why did you choose your course of study? Why do you want to study in the UK? Why do you need the Chevening scholarship? And how will all of these help achieve your future goals? You must be able to answer these questions. You should have a vision and have a plan to implement it.

The four pillar quality is…

Graduate with at least Second class upper

The basic requirement for a Chevening scholarship is to graduate with at least a second class upper. Most Chevening scholars hold a 2:1. So you don’t have to be a first class student to get this scholarship.

Typical Chevening Scholars tend to have ambition, leadership potential, and a strong academic background. Your ability to submit a strong application that demonstrates you are capable of excelling on an intense master’s course in the UK, and that you have a clear vision for your future – and maybe even that of your sector or your country, will set you on the part to success.

Reading is boring? Watch How to Win the Chevening Scholarship

Work Experience

Chevening Scholarships require that applicants have at least two years of work experience. This can be a full-time or part-time employment, voluntary work or internship; paid or unpaid. Work experience can be completed before, during, or after graduating from your undergraduate studies, but excludes industrial attachments or internships that are part of your school work. You do not need to meet the work experience requirement in one period of employment. But your total working experience must be up to two years.

Writing a Winning Chevening Scholarship Essay

The essay is where you demonstrate your personality to become a Chevening scholar. If you successfully checked out the above requirements, you wouldn’t find it difficult telling your story.

The scholarship application requires four essays about 500 words each. Each of these essays reflects one of the four pillar qualities. The trick is to not see it as four different essays but as one long segmented essay. Let all the parts connect. The essay on Leadership should link to networking; networking should link to your future plan, your future plan should link to your academics, and academic back to leadership.

If you have been involved in volunteering activities, this will help emphasize your leadership, communication or even visionary ability. Volunteering is a great way to demonstrate your interest and passion for a cause. While there is no specific essay on volunteering, your volunteering efforts can help write a compelling essay.

When you have written your essay, get someone else to proofread it and give their honest feedback. If possible get someone that has probably gone through the same process before to help proofread your application.

If you are shortlisted to interview for a Chevening Scholarship, then you will be invited to attend an interview at the British embassy or high commission.

While you might naturally feel nervous in advance of the interview, do remember that to have made it to the interview stage is a huge achievement, and it means that you are already one of the strongest candidates. An interview is a great opportunity to really demonstrate why you should be selected for a scholarship and why you should join the Chevening community.

You will be asked a series of questions discussing some of the information you provided in the application form. The panel will ask questions that will enable you to explain your personal and professional aspirations, and how Chevening can facilitate your achievement of these goals. Your course choices will also be discussed and you will be asked to provide an update on your applications.

Scholarship or Admission Application; which should come first?

Selecting the right courses at the right universities is one of the most important aspects of your application. But you don’t have to be awarded admission to apply for the scholarship. According to Charles , “I did not apply to the university until I got the Chevening Scholarship. I applied for the university admission the day I got my Chevening scholarship”. So you don’t have to apply for admission before applying for Chevening scholarship.

In summary, if you’re still an undergraduate student, work on getting good grades. For everyone else, identify something you really are interested in, a problem you really want to be a part of the solution, something that pushes you beyond your academics and emphasize this throughout your application. The world makes way for one that knows where he is going. If you are clear on where you are going and why, you may just be one of the next Chevening Scholarship winners.

During the course of your studies here at Southern Cross University you will be required to prepare many written assessments. These will take several forms including scientific reports, essays, literature reviews, laboratory reports and project proposals. All of these require specific skills in research, writing, and presentation, and you will generally be advised of the different requirements by the individual Unit Assessor. Despite this variety, there are some general principles which can be applied to nearly all forms of written work.

Rosatom Starts Production of Rare-Earth Magnets for Wind Power Generation

TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom has started gradual localization of rare-earth magnets manufacturing for wind power plants generators. The first sets of magnets have been manufactured and shipped to the customer.

In total, the contract between Elemash Magnit LLC (an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom in Elektrostal, Moscow region) and Red Wind B.V. (a joint venture of NovaWind JSC and the Dutch company Lagerwey) foresees manufacturing and supply over 200 sets of magnets. One set is designed to produce one power generator.

“The project includes gradual localization of magnets manufacturing in Russia, decreasing dependence on imports. We consider production of magnets as a promising sector for TVEL’s metallurgical business development. In this regard, our company does have the relevant research and technological expertise for creation of Russia’s first large-scale full cycle production of permanent rare-earth magnets,” commented Natalia Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.

“NovaWind, as the nuclear industry integrator for wind power projects, not only made-up an efficient supply chain, but also contributed to the development of inter-divisional cooperation and new expertise of Rosatom enterprises. TVEL has mastered a unique technology for the production of magnets for wind turbine generators. These technologies will be undoubtedly in demand in other areas as well,” noted Alexander Korchagin, Director General of NovaWind JSC.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
