I'm currently in a Master of Science in Urban Studies program with a GIS/Geography track. I'm thinking of possibly doing a PhD in Geography (specifically Environmental Geography) should I have the funding to do so (my current university does not have a geography program). However if I couldn't get into a program, I'll probably just stay at my current university and do a PhD in Urban Studies, extending the work that I did in my master's.
Any insights/advice?
Some places have rules on calling yourself a "Professional [insert job]" if you don't meet the necessary accreditation, but they generally don't care as long as you're not using your title to sign off paperwork.
In the UK the title "Chartered Geographer" is only available to people who have met the requirements set out by the Royal Geographical Society, but anyone can call themselves a generic "geographer" otherwise.
Besides, Urban Studies is well within the field of geography and I'm sure the professional certification body will accept that.
