Geography is no longer accepting new applications.
Teaching
The MPhil involves research only and teaching is delivered through meetings with an academic supervisor.
| One to one supervision | Each student identifies a research supervisor prior to making an application. The MPhil project is developed in correspondence with the supervisor. At the outset of the MPhil course the student and supervisor arrange a schedule of meetings. The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code of Practice which sets out the University’s expectations regarding supervision. |
|---|---|
| Seminars & classes | There are no formal teaching sessions attached to this MPhil, though as necessary the student will be encouraged to participate in methods training through classes at the University of Cambridge's Social Science Research Methods Programme (SSRMP). |
| Posters and Presentations | Thesis presentation in the third term. |
| Taught/Research Balance | Entirely Research |
Feedback
The research supervisor provides feedback at supervisions and also in written termly reports.
