Following the University of Exeter’s successful bid for an AHRC Block Grant Award, we are pleased to announce the availability of one fully-funded Research Preparation Master’s Award for the academic year 2009-10. The MRes in Critical Human Geographies is also accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and so provides in-depth research training in the social sciences in general and Human Geography.
The focus of the MRes is to prepare you for a career in social science research. Whether at doctoral level at University or in the public and private sectors, the MRes offers a range of core modules in contemporary social and geographical theories and methodologies and option modules on different areas of current human geographical research.
The title of the degree reflects the commitment that Human Geography staff at Exeter have to pursuing critical intellectual agendas within the discipline. The option module ‘streams’ outlined further below are organised according to current human geography research groupings at Exeter and further reflect our commitment to integrating MRes students into the wider research culture of the School.
