MSc by Research Degrees

The Department is offering a range of new postgraduate research degrees.  The MSc by Research enables students to pursue a one year individual programme of research.  This degree could, however, be used in a progression to Year 2 of a PhD degree.  Being nominally a one year degree, this is distinct from an MPhil which is a two year degree.  Current MSc by Research degrees include:

• MSc by Research in Earth Observation
• MSc by Research in Environmental Dynamics
• MSc by Research in Glaciology
• MSc by Research in Global Environmental Modelling
• MSc by Research in Global Migration
• MSc by Research in Media Geographies
• MSc by Research in Social Theory and Space
• MSc by Research in Urban Studies
