Course Overview

You can choose to study this course 'with industry' in which a paid industrial placement forms part of your course, including your overall assessment through reflective learning. Whether or not you opt for the 'with industry' variant of the system, it is designed to give you the tools to work towards a career in various fields in the engineering and technology industries.

Geographic Information (GI) is increasingly important in many areas: environmental protection, business and marketing, communications, forecasting, modeling, agriculture, and local and regional planning.

Understanding GI systems (the software tools) and GI science (the technical discipline) is essential for effectively managing and analyzing spatial data. Working alongside industry partners, the course comprises four core modules, four option modules (selected from a larger pool), and a dissertation.

You will learn critical skills in using a range of GI software; scientific programming; dealing with the growth in data from social media and the internet; and analyzing spatial data in the broader context of data science. Alongside the core modules, you'll have the opportunity to specialize in environmental health, remote sensing, earth observation, visualization, and field data capture.

General Eligibility
