Program Description
By preparing you for future scientific enquiry, the MA in Human Geography and Sustainability Research responds to the need - identified previously by UK research funding bodies - for improved training in research skills at postgraduate level.The course can be studied full-time over one year or part-time over two years, with a start date in September.
You will study seven 15-credit compulsory core modules and choose one 15-credit optional module, split between subject-specific research training modules in human geography and sustainability (60 credits) and broader social science modules (60 credits). The latter enables you to study alongside other social science postgraduates, developing advanced qualitative and quantitative research and data analysis skills, and explore different approaches to research design and the philosophy of the social sciences.
The remaining element of the course involves an extended independent research project of your choice (60 credits), which allows you to put into practice the knowledge and skills generated during the taught component of the programme and focus on a topic of interest.
Each module involves around 24-hours of scheduled contact time taught in five or 10-week blocks over Semester 1 (October-December) and Semester 2 (January-May). The third semester (June-September) is then dedicated to completing your independent research project in which you will work closely with your assigned supervisor.
To achieve the MSc, you must complete 180 credits. There are two interim awards available, depending on how many modules have been successfully completed: a Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits); and a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits).
