理学硕士（MSc）计划使您能够从事自己感兴趣的领域的高级研究，并有机会从事独立研究。学习理学硕士课程是致力于科学家专注于相关领域的兴趣或实践并获得高级资格的机会。授课的大师将为您提供所选领域的专业培训，而研究大师将与理学院的研究人员一起发展高级研究技能，其中许多人是该领域的主要贡献者。您可以在理学院或艺术学院课程中学习地理专业的研究生课程。如果您是一位有抱负的地质学家和自然地理学家，则可以探索气候学，水文学和生物地理学的主题以及地貌学的基本概念，并了解有关使用GIS绘制和分析信息的知识。或者，您可能希望专
Studying for an MSc is an opportunity for committed scientists to focus on a relevant area of interest or practice and pursue an advanced qualification. While a taught masters will provide you with specialist training in your chosen field, a research masters will develop advanced research skills, working alongside Faculty of Science researchers many of whom are major contributors in their field. Most students enter an MSc following completion of a PGDipSci. You will need to complete 120 points (maximum of 160 points) in a specialisation within one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study (research masters) or four years of part-time study (taught masters). Not all specialisations offer both taught and research options. If you enter a MSc directly from an undergraduate degree you will need to complete 240 points (maximum of 280 points) in a specialisation in two years of full-time study or four years of part-time study (research masters) or six years of part-time study (taught masters). Not all specialisations offer both taught and research options.
