Master of Arts in Society, Space and Place

Program Overview

The MA in Society, Space and Place provides advanced training in research practices, theories and qualitative and quantitative methodologies that will equip students for careers in government agencies, public bodies, research institutes, and private consultancies, or for undertaking doctoral-level research. Students will complete specialist modules in human geography and cognate disciplines, and participate in a theory and methods school with students from Cardiff and Swansea universities. Students can expect to be part of an energetic postgraduate community and participate in the Department’s active and inclusive research culture.

  • This course is a recognised training pathway by the ESRC Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, meaning that students may be eligible to apply for competitive 1+ 3 funding covering the MA year and PhD, or +3 funding for a follow-on PhD.
  • This course provides innovative and cross-institutional training with a Theory School and Methods School delivered jointly with the Geography departments at Cardiff and Swansea Universities.
  • You will have the opportunity to participate in two major research groups (the Cultural and Historical Geography Research Group and the New Political Geographies Research Group) which are comprised of experts who regularly contribute to or lead international debates.
  • You will have the opportunity to network and increase your professional exposure through the department’s regular guest seminars and the residential theory school (held in conjunction with Cardiff and Swansea Universities).
