The course consists of five modules spread over three semesters, including an extensive research project in geography, environmental science or sustainability. You can either graduate with a MSc in Geographical and Environmental Research or an MA in Geographical and Environmental Research, depending on the nature of your research project. Project areas range from palaeoceanography, Quaternary environments, glaciology, polar science, energy, soil system science, water chemistry and ecology, to animal and rural geographies, cultural and economic geographies, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), art-science crossover projects, creative geographies, and sustainability. Whilst there is a very wide range of Keele-based projects to choose from, a distinct feature of our programme is the opportunity for UK students to complete a placement with a UK-based industrial partner or at one of several European and North American partner institutions, all of which have established research links with Keele staff. International students undertake their research and placement at Keele University under the supervision of international experts in their chosen research area.
