Master of Geography (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

This MGeog Geography degree is like our BA or BSc Geography programmes except it has an additional fourth year of study that allows you to specialise in an area of geography that particularly interests you through your dissertation project. You will also undertake a work placement in your fourth year that will help you develop those key employability skills to help you successfully navigate the world of graduate employment. You will also be able to select some additional modules, either human, physical or environmentally focused to complete your studies.

On this MGeog Geography degree, you can choose from the same set of modules as the BA (L700) and BSc (F800) Geography programmes during your first three years. You can select ones that are more human or physically focused, or even ones that reflect the interdisciplinarity nature of geography.

Field work is an integral part of this degree, and there will be lots of opportunity to get outside and learn valuable skills locally, alongside residential trips in the UK and Europe. You can study or work abroad if you participate in our International Experience Year.

Placement
This course is available with a Placement Year option where you will study for 1 additional year. The Placement Year is undertaken at the end of the second year and students are away for the whole of the academic year.

The Placement Year provides you with a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop valuable skills and contacts through working with a self-sourced organisation relevant to your degree subject. The minimum period in placement (at one or more locations) is seven calendar months; more usually you would spend 10-12 months with a placement provider. You would normally start sometime in the period June to September of your second year and finish between June and September the following year. Placements can be UK-based or overseas and you will work with staff to plan and finalise the placement arrangements.
