What will I learn?

We enjoy a reputation for world-leading research in a wide range of areas, including policy-relevant studies on global socioeconomic and cultural transformations, and sensitive environmental systems. You’ll work with expert faculty who are major contributors to policy debates within the UK Government, the EU and other international organisations. Our areas of expertise and supervision include: popular protest and the politics of labouring life critical finance studies and digital currencies postwar cultural geographies of Britain and the United States cultural geographies of race and representation postcolonial landscapes and identities everyday home-making practices and lived domestic space decolonising museums climate science and society geomorphology. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
