Course summary

This programme will give you the opportunity to conduct pure or applied research alongside staff at the forefront of their academic disciplines across physical geography, including disciplines such as hydrology, glaciology, geomorphology (fluvial, glacial, desert), and Quaternary environmental change. You will be supported within an active interdisciplinary research environment, working on a project in collaboration with your supervisor, leading to a formal postgraduate qualification.

The ResM incorporates both taught elements and an extended research project culminating in the submission of a thesis. This allows you to engage with a research area of particular interest to you while learning more about physical geography and related disciplines within the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences.

The ResM can be studied either full or part time. You study the core modules and attend individual tutorials with your supervisor and regular research seminars. The programme leads to either a written thesis or one combining critical writing with creative/professional practice and can be studied either full time or part time. After completing your taught modules, you continue with independent research, guided by your Director of Studies.

Throughout this time spent working towards your thesis, you are considered a full member of our research community and completely supported until you successfully complete your degree. You may attend additional training, workshops and research seminars. As a full-time ResM student, you submit your thesis after 12 months (part time after 24 months) or pay a nominal sum for up to six months鈥� additional writing up time (part time 12 months). Your viva voce (or oral examination) takes place following submission of your thesis.

Overseas applicants must submit their application 4.5 months prior to the proposed programme start date. For Home/EU applicants the deadline is 2.5 months prior to the proposed programme start date. There are three possible start dates per year, 1 October, 1 January and 1 April.
