What is an MSc in Geography? It is a degree program that studies the branch of natural science that analyzes patterns in Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. Students examine both historic and recent changes in the natural environment. They also develop skills in geographic information science, cartography, remote sensing, and world language.

Although some students seek out an MSc in Geography in order to further their careers, most do so to make a positive impact on environmental issues. In-depth courses in geomorphology, hydrology, biogeography, and climatology contribute to an advanced knowledge of complex environmental patterns that can help measure and minimize negative human impact to the environment.
