With excellent supervisory guidance and a verysupportive and engaging research culture withinHuman Geography, I was able to fully develop mypersonal empirical and theoretical approach tothe research. In terms of fieldwork, I spent twelvemonths undertaking research in Zambia whichincluded a month long institutional visit at a SouthAfrican university. This provided a wonderfulopportunity to meet other development geographersand experience an alternative research environment.Alongside the core activities of undertaking aPhD, I actively engaged in the department’steaching commitments.

OurAlumniName:KateBazeleyProgramme ofstudy:MPhil inPhysicalGeography

I wanted to continue studying after myundergraduate degree, and preferred the idea ofa research programme rather than a taught one,as I think that you gain more skills from it; whereasin a taught programme you sit in lectures and docoursework and exams, a research programmemeans that you have to be disciplined to workin your own time, thus improving your timemanagement skills. It also gives you the opportunityto be involved in teaching and demonstrating work,through which you not only gain leadership andorganisational skills from being in a position ofresponsibility, but it also allows you to achievebasic teaching and First Aid training qualifications.I would recommend a research degree to anyoneinterested in pursuing an academic or researchcareer, as it allows you to become integrated withinthe research side of university life, as opposedto the student aspect, through internal seminarsand opportunities to attend conferences thatare relevant to your research.

OurStudentsName:FraserBellProgrammeofstudy:MARegionalDevelopment(Research)andcurrentlyworkingonaPhD

I decided to take the MA in Regional Development(Research) as I hoped this would provide me withthe required research skills and understanding oflocal and regional development theory in preparationfor PhD study. My decision was reinforced by thehigh esteem that CURDS, GPS and NewcastleUniversity hold in order to boost further careerprospects. This is demonstrated by achievingESRC +3 funding for a PhD whilst studying for themasters. The PhD focuses on the conceptualisationof place reputation as a successor to the theoryof place branding, drawing upon business andmarketing theories of reputation and applyingthis to second-tier towns and cities in the UnitedKingdom. The most positive aspect of the courseis the improved understanding of research methodsgained through modules focusing on both qualitativeand quantitative methods. This helped me deepenmy theoretical understanding of methods andbroadened options to use in my research.

OurStudentsName:AdamTruemanProgrammeofstudy:PhysicalGeographyMPhil

Before embarking on my Master’s degree, I studiedmy undergraduate degree in Physical Geographyat Newcastle University. I primarily chose to studyPhysical Geography at Newcastle University due tothe excellent reputation of the University as well asthe broad range of modules and expertise that wason offer within both the Geography and Geosciencesdepartments. The decision to undertake a master’sdegree was based on the fact that the MPhil PhysicalGeography degree would give me greater exposureto the academic research environment, thus allowingme to make a more educated decision on whetherI should pursue an academic research careerfurther. I have thrived under the range of teachingopportunities that have been offered to me andthis has been hugely beneficial to my academicCV. The postgraduate community is also a veryfriendly environment with a warm atmosphere.My Research degree has also given me both theopportunity and time to acquire and hone an arrayof advanced skills and techniques within PhysicalGeography and Computing Science that aredirectly transferable to both industry and otherresearch areas. The fact that I have decided topursue my studies further at Newcastle Universityafter my undergraduate degree is a testament tohow much I have enjoyed both studying at theuniversity and living in this city.

OurStudentsName:DanielBosProgrammeofstudy:PhDHumanGeography

I studied Geography for my undergraduate degreeat Newcastle before embarking on the Masterscourse in in Human Geography Research. Themain reason for choosing Newcastle was due to itsimpressive academic reputation, but also becauseof the diverse modules and subject matters whichare offered within the Geography department.I opted to stay at Newcastle, due to course contentand the expertise of staff members within the PoliticalGeography field, which is of particular interest tome. For my future, I am considering a career inresearch, whether within academia, or, basedwithin a research organisation. This MA providesthe perfect stepping stone towards this aspiration,allowing me to examine the theories and conceptswithin Human Geography to an advanced level,alongside, developing more general research skills.The fact the MA is ESRC recognised, allows me toapply to +3 PhD studentships funded by the ESRC.

OurAlumniName:ValerieEgdellProgrammeofstudy:PhDHumanGeographyResearch

I applied for the MA in Human Geography Researchbecause of the broad course content – focusingon both generic research skills and subject specificmodules such as Philosophies in Human Geography.The Geography department’s reputation for researchexcellence was a key factor. Thus I was delighted tobe able to continue at Newcastle for my PhD. Mysupervisors provided support and guidance whenpreparing my successful application for joint ESRCand MRC funding. The opportunity to be supervisedby a team from across the university was essentialbecause of the interdisciplinary nature of my PhD.Furthermore the guidance provided by my PhDsupervisors was invaluable. One of the most positiveaspects was that the postgraduate community wasclose knit and supportive, and the facilities, suchas the library were excellent. Looking back I findthat the generic research skills and subject specificexpertise that I developed during my MA and PhDhave been vital in the start of my academic career.

Power,Space,PoliticsResearchers working in the Power, Space andPolitics cluster have a particular research strengthexamining the expression of political power acrossspace. We do this at a range of scales, from theinternational and national to the individual, andwith reference to a range of global contexts. Ourexplorations of power, space and politics rangefrom group and individual negotiations of identityand political action, to the lived experiences ofpolitical transformation. Our work is methodologicallyinnovative, and we draw on ethnographic, discourseanalytic, participatory and visual methodologieswhich enable grounded, empirically-informedreflections on the multiple ways in which conceptsof power, space and politics intersect. We shareand make explicit through our work a desire toproduce cutting-edge research which has utilityfor policy and user communities.

The main reason for undertaking my studiesat Newcastle University was a PhD studentshipthat looked very relevant to my BA and MA studies,and I got it! The research interests of colleaguesin the School of Geography, Politics, and Sociologywere very close to my subject. I am a PoliticalGeographer researching cities and conflict.My research concentrates on how infrastructure,planning, and architecture are affected, influenced,and changed by different degrees and types ofconflict and social tension; and vice-versa, howplanning, infrastructure, and architecture can bea source of conflict, as well as a tool for conflictmanagement and hopefully resolution. CurrentlyI am writing two books, one on the urban aspectsof war in Lebanon, and the other (which I am co-authoring with colleagues from other universities)on the role of the built environment in shapingcommunity relations and cohesion in dividing ordivided with case studies from Amsterdam, Beirut,Belfast, and Berlin. Reflecting on my time studyingat Newcastle I find that my programme providedme with sufficient knowledge and skills to equipme for my future career.

ResearchinPhysicalGeographyQuaternaryResearchQuaternary research at Newcastle focus on tworelated aspects of quaternary global change: pastchanges in the Earth’s climate system using a rangeof palaeoclimatic proxies and palaeoenvironmentalchange including palaeoceanography,palaeohydrology and anthropogenic changes.All researchers are concerned with exploring arange of palaeoclimatic proxies – indicators of pastclimate variability. Staff and postgraduates workat the forefront of applying innovative techniquesto reconstruct quaternary environmental change.The lead role taken in the development of biomarkerresearch signals the strategic importance of thiswork as a key strength and area for developmentwithin the group.

Key themes:Past Changes in the Earth’s Climate SystemPalaeoenvironmental Change

OurStudentsName:BenjaminPetrickProgrammeofstudy:PhD inPhysicalGeography

My project is to reconstruct the past climate of asite in the South East Atlantic. I will be constructing a3.5 million year record of the site which encompassesthe entire period of most recent glaciations. The sitewhich is located near the Cape of Good Hope is neara number of important oceanic currents. Thesecurrents are thought to respond during ice ages inways that have global repercussions. The currentsmay play a role in the abrupt warming and coolingof the planet. The way that I plan to look at thehistory of the cores is using biologic markers whichtell me about the changes that took place at thesite. The most important of these is the UK37 indexwhich reconstructs the sea surface temperatureof the site. By looking at these markers over longperiods of time it allows me to say somethingabout not only how the local climate changedduring past periods but how it might change inresponse to future warming predicted by globalwarming. It also will enable me to relate changesseen in the core to global climate changes.

EarthSurfaceProcessesandLandformsResearchers in this cluster deliver world-leadingresearch at the frontiers of knowledge relating tothe Earth’s surface and the processes that form itsstructure and drives its function. Our key researchthemes cover water landscapes, cold regions andtectonically-active environments, geoarchaeologyand sustainability, and in all these we study thecauses of, and responses to, environmentalchange over a range of spatial and time scales.

Our key objective is a strong science baseunderpinning these long-term thematic approaches,emphasising a strategic approach to earth surfacescience and sustainability issues, whilst incorporatingflexibility to respond to transient events and feedinto policy initiatives. Our vision is a grouping witha global reputation for academic excellence thatprovides leadership within Newcastle University,the North East region and beyond. We aim toachieve this via a vibrant, integrated and inclusiveresearch community.

OurAlumniName:RupertBainbridgeProgrammeofstudy:MPhil inPhysicalGeography

Jobdescription:PhysicalGeographyTechnician&SchoolSafety Officer,NewcastleUniversityI chose to do the MPhil because I wanted to doan individual project on a specialised topic. I hadenjoyed doing a Glacial Meltwater module in myundergraduate degree and wanted to take that topicfurther, the MPhil was my opportunity to do that.

I did my undergraduate degree at Newcastle.I really enjoy the atmosphere of the university andthe city as a whole. The staff in the department arehelpful and I’ve got to know them well and wantedto stay in this environment. Also the expertise whichI needed for my MPhil degree were available in thedepartment, therefore it seemed a sensible placeto stay. I have had plenty of work experiencethroughout my degree such as TA work withfieldtrips, laboratory and practical sessions for firstand second year courses. There has also beenopportunities for me to be a part of Education andOutreach programmes to further my transferableskills and qualifications for future jobs. I have hadthe opportunity to learn new skills in surveying anddata management within my course, this was partof organising an expedition to Iceland in summer2010 where myself and three other students wentand camped by a glacier for 5 weeks, definitelya university experience to remember!
