About Program

Program Overview

Master of Geography

The Master of Geography program is ranked #1 in Australia and #19 in the world. The course code for this program is MC-GEOG.


Overview

Changes in our environment mean we are facing unprecedented societal, economic, and political challenges. With a Master of Geography, you'll become part of the new generation of workers who are tackling these challenges by bridging the gap between the social and natural sciences.


Course Details

  • Duration: 2 years full time / 4 years part time
  • Location: On campus (Parkville)
  • Intake: March, July
  • Fees: Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) available

Course Structure

You can specialise in one of three streams – physical, human or integrated geography – and include an optional research thesis if you wish.


Career Outcomes

You'll leave with the geography skills needed for jobs in natural resource management, research, urban planning and sustainability locally, or development and policy globally.


Practical Experience

Geographers need practical, in-the-field experience, and we offer plenty of opportunities for you to get your hands dirty – in China, East Timor, New Zealand, or around Australia.


Global Perspective

As a geographer, you'll know how important it is to gain a global perspective. In addition to international fieldwork subjects, we offer the International Internship in Environment – an elective subject that gives you the unique opportunity to complete a placement with an overseas-based environmental organisation.


Research Opportunities

You can choose either a coursework-only or a coursework-plus-thesis option. If you complete a thesis option, you'll leave the course with a significant research project to feature on your CV.


Professional Skills

We know that soft-skills are important too, which is why you're able to select from a wide range of high-level professional subjects, including science communication, modelling, business, ethics and more.
