MSc(Res) Polar and Alpine Change
Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK
This 1-year Masters of Research (MSc(Res)) programme should interest students looking for Masters-level research training and experience within the broad subject area of cold-regions science. Its research areas include glaciology, geomorphology, climate change and reconstruction, Quaternary science, geochronology, and oceanic and atmospheric processes.
The programme targets those wishing to gain an intensive research experience and expand their range of research skills before progressing to a PhD. Training is provided in the form of a research apprenticeship within the Ice and Climate Research (ICERS) cluster of academic and postdoctoral staff and PhD and Masters students. Our students carry out a major Research Project under supervision by the ICERS staff. Another key feature of the programme is a summer Field Course module. Its provisional destination is Western Greenland, although alternative field locations may be considered that reflect the interests and experience of our staff.

We invite applications from students who are performing at (a minimum) good Upper-Second Class undergraduate level at a UK University or graduated at that level, or an international equivalent, in a relevant subject area (for example, Physical Geography, Environmental / Earth / Ocean Sciences, Geology, Physics, and Natural Science).
Our alumni have gone on to secure competitive PhD places (and, subsequently, postdoctoral and academic positions) at research-intensive institutions in the UK and other countries. Other alumni have begun careers as environmental professionals, amongst a range of career destinations.
Our next Open Day is on Wednesday 27th February 2019. There will be more Open Days later this year. We are now considering applications for September 2019 entry.
