Course summary
Our MGeog degree is like our BA/BSc Geography programmes except it has an additional fourth year of study that allows you to specialise in an area of geography that particularly interests you through your dissertation project. You will also undertake a work placement in your fourth year that will help you develop those key employability skills to help you successfully navigate the world of graduate employment. You will also be able to select some additional modules, either human, physical or environmentally focused to complete your studies.
You can choose from the same set of modules as the BA (L700) and BSc (F800) Geography programmes during your first three years. You can select ones that are more human or physically focused, or even ones that reflect the interdisciplinarity nature of geography.
Field work is an integral part of this degree, and there will be lots of opportunity to get outside and learn valuable skills locally, alongside residential trips in the UK and Europe. You can study or work abroad if you participate in our International Experience Year. This degree is accredited by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). Accredited degrees contain a solid academic foundation in geographical knowledge and skills and prepare you to address the needs of the world beyond higher education.
BA/BSc or MGeog? You can decide to opt onto the BA/BSc Geography programmes at the start of your third year if you change your mind.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Environmental Science F90F.
