Cultural Geography

The mres in cultural geography is especially suited for students looking to progress to phd study. since 1995 about half of all the graduands of our masters in cultural geography have progressed to funded phd research, many becoming leading academics in the field. in this mres we combine core concepts with intensive research methods training in the form of a long-form dissertation that is ideal preparation for further postgraduate study including phd programs. reflecting the collaborative and outward facing nature of our research culture, the curriculum also includes the potential for innovative placements and research engagements with some of the world’s top cultural institutions and creative organisations, located on our doorstep in london.

This programme is structured to maximise graduate employability and further education prospects, with transferable skills sessions, career development sessions and workshops taking place to help graduates you achieve your career ambitions. we help our students to work on their phd applications, and also help to arrange placements with some of the world’s top cultural institutions – including the v&a museum, the museum of london, the british library, the natural history museum, the royal botanic gardens kew and the royal geographical society.
