For context, I will (most likely) barely pass my degree due to physical health issues making me miss deadlines. When I am less ill, I usually have much better grades.

I have been looking into volunteering, and learning code in Python. I have very little work experience (due to my health issues), and only one (irrelevant to geology sadly) internship I can put on my CV. I also can't yet drive, but I am working on saving the money for lessons (no one can help teach me unfortunately).

Please let me know if you have any ideas to make me more employable. I graduate July 2026. Thanks in advance!

Please be kind, there is some important context behind my mark. I have a lot of physical health issues that have been worsening and I kept missing deadlines. Doctors have found the issue and I should improve a lot soon. I'm not incapable - when I am less ill I usually get a first or close to it.

I did an internship with the university last year (not really that relevant to Geology sadly) and have barely any work experience (I couldn't work part time and do uni at the same time due to health problems - the internship was like 2 hours a week). I can use ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.

Are there courses I can do or anything at all that I can add to my CV? From the research I've done, learning Python seems to be useful. What else can I do? Are there internships that accept post-grads with only a 3rd? Any advice appreciated - thanks in advance!
