研究地理理学硕士

理学硕士（由研究机构）允许具有所要求标准的科学或社会科学学科的学士学位或更高学位的任何学生学习面向地理的地理学科。这是一个研究学位，可以提出论文，如果满足大学条件，则可以获得硕士学位。全日制学生必须学习至少一年，最多两年，以获得该学位。这与文学硕士（通过研究）一起提供了高级研究的经验，但没有承诺在博士学位开始时至少需要进行三年的研究。因为它是“科学”学位，所以适合具有自然地理等科学或工程背景的学生。
The MSc (by Research) admits any student with a Bachelors degree or higher in a science or social science subject, of the required standard, to study in science-facing aspects of Geography. This is a research degree, leading to presentation of a thesis and, if University conditions are met, graduation with an MSc degree. Full-time students must study for a minimum of one and maximum of two years to obtain this degree.This, along with the Master of Arts (by research), provides experience of advanced research but without the commitment to a minimum of three years study required at the outset of a PhD. Because it is a 'science' degree, it is suitable for students with a science or engineering background, including physical geography.Many of our students choose the MSc route as a means of helping them to decide if a PhD is for them or not. Others use the MSc as a means of gaining the further qualification necessary for progression in their career. Finally, some choose the MSc simply because they want to research something that has always interested them, aided and guided by experts in their chosen field of research.
