📖Program Curriculum

The Geography MSc by Research (MScRes) is a one-year full-time research programme that differs from a taught Masters programme by placing more emphasis on research and by being examined much more like a PhD by viva voce (oral) examination rather than by grading of coursework and dissertation. This degree will equip you with confidence and competence in the latest research skills (including generic skills such as literature searching legal and ethical aspects project planning grant proposal writing and statistical manipulation of data) and allow you to apply for further research training (PhD) programmes or to directly apply for research positions in universities or research institutes.

You will be expected to participate in the graduate training programme provided by the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering Graduate School to develop your subject-specific skills. You will also undertake training through the University’s Doctoral School to gain broad postgraduate-level skills.

Specific funded projects leading to this degree may be advertised from time to time but you are welcome to discuss options at any time with potential supervisors. Details of research specialisms and contact details for staff can be found on the School Research pages. As well as offering strong support for research activities the School offers unique opportunities for students to conduct project work under internationally recognised supervisors. Students also benefit from our extensive local national and international links with state and private sector organisations.
