MSci Geography with Innovation (F805)

The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, economics and enterprise skillsets to come up with purpose-driven solutions that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities, and work across specialisations, cultures and industries.

This course combines in-depth, subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside practice-based learning, delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's multiple award-winning teaching team. In conjunction with your geography studies, you will learn to apply design thinking methods to grow a moment of inspiration into feasible plans that could include launching social and commercial enterprises.

The course will equip you with skills in the use of specialised computer software, statistical analysis and in data collection, as well as with other critical, theoretical and practical skills central to geography, developing your knowledge and expertise across a range of areas.

Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will join up with students from other innovation disciplines, such as computer science, physics and anthropology, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledge to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams, to build in-demand professional skills, such as how to communicate, deliver actionable results, and give value to your unique interests and contributions.

By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services, and how to sustain new endeavours, including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your studies.
