Masters of Research & MA/MSc by Research

We offer four Masters courses in Geography that are based primarily on research. These are the Masters by Research, the Masters by Research (Sc), the MSc by Research and the MA by Research.

They are suitable for students who wish to focus primarily on undertaking a research-based Masters level qualification, with the option of taking up to 60 credits (a third of the degree) through taught modules. Whichever course you choose will see you allocated two supervisors from the academic staff of the School of Geography, appropriate to your research interests, who will meet with you on a regular basis to provide advice and guidance and ensure that your are fully connected to the research community in the School of Geography. These degrees offer the opportunity to experience what it is like to do a full PhD degree, but without the requirement to undertake three years of study.
