Who is the Master of Arts in Geography for?
Applications are welcome from graduates from any discipline, though undergraduate disciplines with a thematic link to Geography may be advantageous. The programme would also be suitable for those with a professional background in a field related to Geography who might wish to develop and broaden their skillset
What will I learn?
The MA in Geography will provide you with an opportunity to develop reading, writing and critical thinking skills in various areas, ranging from the social sciences to the physical sciences.
How will I benefit?
You will develop your geographical skillset to a high level (whether you studied Geography or a related discipline as an undergraduate) and also hone your skills in independent research under the supervision of a staff of academic experts in their fields. It is thus a degree that can either stand on its own or serve as a springboard for those with an ambition to progress towards doctoral study in the future.
What is the programme about?
The programme aims to produce graduates who are able to analyze and interpret the world in which we live, depending on your chosen research focus:
- Global political events
- Global environmental problems and processes
- Local, national and regional economic development
- Sustainable development
