The MA/MSc in Geography is designed to provide an advanced understanding of a variety of specialisms in human geography. A key feature of the programme is its flexibility. It can be taken in three different modes, enabling you to choose the length of dissertation and number of optional modules (whether in Geography or a cognate discipline) you take. The programme has proven especially popular not only to recent graduates but also to professionals who want to update their qualifications and widen their research and writing skills. The MA/MSc in Geography (Mode C) is recognised under the ESRC’s 1+3 funding scheme. (See also Scholarships/ Studentships on p84 for details of possible changes to ESRC recognition).
