About this course
Master in Science in Geography with International Year MSci, a geography degree focusing on spatial analysis, environmental systems, and human-environment interactions. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, and Fieldwork. The four-year programme incorporates a dedicated international year studying at a global partner institution, alongside advanced research training and an extended period of study. The first year introduces foundational themes through compulsory modules such as LC Applied GIS and Data Science, LC Connected Earth: Environmental Systems and Change, LC Fieldwork: Principles and Practice, and LC Research Design for Geographers and Planners. The second year expands into specialized areas with options including LI Cultural Geographies, LI Political Geographies, LI Urban Geography, and LI Environmental Pollution and Management. The final stages involve advanced independent investigations, culminating in either LH Human Geography or Planning Research or LH Physical Geography Research, complemented by international exchange modules.
