MRes Critical Human Geographies

Location

Streatham Campus, Exeter

The MRes Critical Human Geographies is a one-year, full-time Masters programme. It is accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and so provides in-depth research training in the social sciences in general and human geography in particular. With a focus on preparing you for a career in social science research, whether at doctoral level at university, or in the public and private sectors, the MRes offers a range of core modules in contemporary social and geographical theories and methodologies, and optional modules in different areas of current human geographical research.

The title of the degree reflects the commitment that human geography staff at Exeter have to pursuing critical intellectual agendas within the discipline. The optional modules reflect current human geography research groupings at Exeter, including Geographies of creativity and knowledge and Natures, materialities and biopolitics, and further reflect our commitment to integrating MRes students into the wider research culture of the School.
