Overview
© Jessica Seldon/DFID
The Global Health Geographies MRes is a pre-doctoral training programme version of the Global Health Geographies MA. Alongside the opportunity to challenge common ideas and theories about development and reconsider the diversity of populations, economies, cities and governance practices in the Global South, you will develop social science research skills and methods appropriate for further study in this field.
This MRes is a pre-doctoral training programme taught in conjunction with the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) and is an approved pathway for ESRC 1+3 PhD studentship funding – ideal for those seeking to work in a research-related role. MRes programmes in the School of Geography have the same structure as the MA/MSc equivalents, but include two compulsory modules: 'Geographical Thought and Practice' and ‘Introduction to Social Science 2: Quantitative Methods and Data’.

encourages you to examine pressing global health challenges in light of the significant conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions of critical geographical scholarship
involves unique multi-disciplinary teaching from internationally recognised global health experts that permits students to craft a programme of study that furthers their own academic or professional interests.
