The MPhil in Global and Area Studies draws on the multidisciplinary and area expertise of OSGA’s seven regional centres, to deliver an innovative Comparative Area Studies programme, which addresses contemporary global challenges through developing innovative multidisciplinary approaches.
The overall objectives of the MPhil are:

- To allow you to work on key thematic global challenges from a comparative area studies perspective;
- To equip you with the conceptual and theoretical expertise to interrogate the notions of ‘area’, ‘comparative area’ and the implications for disciplinary enquiry;
- To embed inter-cultural understanding and global citizenship in the study of area;
- To develop research methods and skills that are appropriate for the comparative study of areas and regions including through the development of new digital approaches for area studies; and
