An MSc is a Master of Science, a post-graduate degree that can take one to two years to complete and focuses on the analytic side of a field. Students must have a bachelor's before pursuing this degree, typically in a related field. A dissertation or other presentation is often required to complete the program.

As opposed to a study in physical geography, what is an MSc in Human Geography? Human geography deals with politics, globalization and humanity's impact on the environment. As a master's degree, this study requires a high level of knowledge in areas related to humanity and geography. Most programs require many course hours devoted to independent research in a relevant topic. Courses may focus on world geography and how humans move in groups globally and locally.

Some skills acquired in this study include understanding information systems, teamwork and presentation. Information systems are important for jobs using large amounts of data while expanded teamwork and presentation skills can help bring people together to reach a common goal.

A master's degree's cost may be offset by stipends and scholarships. These costs include books, registration and lodging. If you will move to a different country or state, you should also factor those costs into your budget plan.

Jobs for a degree-holder in human geography include those in both the public and private sectors. The flexibility of this program means students can often tailor their study to the job they want instead of feeling stuck applying for jobs that fit the given courses. Graduates can apply for positions in research, education, charitable work, and consulting. They may also serve as government advisors.

Human geography is a common subject in many schools worldwide. You want the school that is the best fit for you, so you need a focused search. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
