Program Overview

What the University of Portsmouth says about their program:
"If you're looking to take your studies and expertise in human or physical geography to the next level, the University of Portsmouth is the perfect place to do it.

Environmentally and socially, the world is in a state of great uncertainty, and through our Physical and Human Geography work, we're exploring the roots and impacts of social and environmental crises, such as worsening inequality and climate change. We're looking for new ways to combat them – and when you study for a postgraduate research degree with us, you'll play your own part in turning our expertise into action.

The School of Environment, Geography and Geosciences supports postgraduate research in a range of topics, from climate change in mountain environments, geographies of youth smoking, and innovations in river restoration, to management of community water resources in rural Uganda, the use of social media in health campaigns, and reconstructing glacial environments.

In the most recent Research Excellent Framework (REF2014), 60% of our research in Geography was classed as having outstanding or very considerable impacts in terms of its reach and significance – with all of our impact being recognised as ‘considerable’."
