The MRes Island Studies is a research-focused master's degree run jointly with the University of Plymouth. The programme suits people interested in the challenges and opportunities facing island communities, whether they are recent graduates or professionals who already work on the island.
The programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to research in island settings and prepares students to examine pressing local issues and develop practical solutions for island societies. It is offered only part time, because students are expected to hold a job connected with their field of study, which keeps the learning connected with current professional practice and supports career progression.
Applicants need a strong honours-level background, and transcripts of earlier study must be supplied. Candidates who studied outside the UK may have their qualifications cross-checked with universities, and relevant work experience can be taken into account.
