About this course
Master in Science in Geography MSci, a geography degree focused on environmental systems, human societies, and geographical research. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, Fieldwork, and Environmental Analysis. The four-year programme includes an extended period of study incorporating advanced research training and an additional dissertation. The first year covers foundational principles through LC Fieldwork: Principles and Practice, LC Applied GIS and Data Science, and LC Societies, Space and Place. The second year develops targeted investigation skills via modules such as LI Field Research Skills for Physical Geography and Environmental Sciences, LI Environmental Pollution and Management, and LI Urban Geography. The final stages allow students to pursue specialised interests through advanced options like LH Advanced Fieldwork Research, LH Climate change in the Earth System, and LH Professional Placement.
