ResM Human Geography

Human Geographers are fascinated by society and environment and examine how places are understood, imagined, used, shared and contested by different peoples. Geographers study the world at a range of scales, from the local to the global, and have a keen appreciation of how places are connected. A research degree offers you the chance to be part of this rich discipline in its quest to understand people’s diverse relationships with the world. The ResM can be studied either full or part time. You study the core modules and attend individual tutorials with your supervisor and regular research seminars. The programme leads to either a written thesis or one combining critical writing with creativeprofessional practice and can be studied either full time or part time. After completing your taught modules, you continue with independent research, guided by your Director of Studies. Full time: 1-1.5 years, Part time: 2-3 years

For entry to postgraduate level, you should normally possess: a first or upper second (2:1) degree with honours or professional qualification, recognised as being equivalent to degree standard; or an ordinary degree, foundation degree, higher national diploma, or university diploma, accompanied by substantial experience in an appropriate field.
