The MRes in Critical Human Geographies is accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and so provides in-depth research training in the social sciences in general and human geography. We focus on preparing your for a career in social science research. Whether at doctoral level at University, or in the public and private sectors, the MRes offers a range of core modules in contemporary social and geographical theories and methodologies and optional modules on different areas of current human geographical research.

The title of the degree reflects the commitment that human geography staff at Exeter have to pursuing critical intellectual agendas within the discipline. The optional module ‘streams’ outlined further below are organised according to current human geography research groupings at Exeter and further reflect our commitment to integrating MRes students into the wider research culture of the department.

Entry requirements: A Second Class Honours degree or equivalent.
