Postgraduate Study

The MPhil in Geography provides a great opportunity for developing the skills needed for independent research. The course is centred on your own research project, allowing you to work on original ideas in good depth and produce a substantial thesis. While much of the work is independent, you have access to multiple training opportunities and all the benefits of being embedded in a supportive and enriching academic environment. The course was rewarding and really good preparation for future research. I was able to enhance my methodological, analytical and writing skills, as well as build networks with fellow researchers.
