Overview
If you are weighing up Geography MA, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Geography is assessed mainly through extended written work. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 29 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £16.000 to £34.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
