Overview
This Master's programme in Human Geography and Sustainability Research at Keele University draws on social sciences more generally, but also brings together Keele’s internationally recognised expertise across the two distinct disciplines of human geography and sustainability.
Generic and subject-specific research training prepares you to consider why and how humans behave, interact with, shape and affect their surroundings; studying our many diverse environments, habitats and resources (both natural and man-made).
Career
In our rapidly changing world, there is significant demand for individuals with specialist knowledge and understanding of how human environments function globally and locally, able to analyse and interpret data to predict and find solutions to a range of social, political, economic and sustainable issues.
Graduating from the MA in Human Geography and Sustainability Research places you in an ideal position to work in a wide range of public, private and third sector settings, for charities, voluntary organisations, NGOs, local or national government, government agencies, multinational companies and other commercial enterprises.
