Duration
2 Years
The course covers the principles of GI science and geotechnology and the foundations of geographical information handling.
You will learn how to handle spatial entities for data transformations, generalisation and aggregation, and will develop competency in analytical operations, methods and spatial analyses. You will have the chance to implement principles of map design and graphical representation techniques, and will gain an understanding of spatial database systems and application design. You will also perform storage and retrieval operations, and work with alternative data models, 3D modelling and advanced visualisation.
The course is taught partly in distance-learning mode and partly in traditional classroom mode or entirely in distance-learning mode.

About this course
This course provides a high level of competency in the principles of GI science and the use of geotechnology, as well as the skills to routinely use professional software for data acquisition, handling, exploration and mapping.
As a graduate of this course you will have opportunities to drive developments in a wide array of themes such as:
dynamic modelling;
forensic investigation;
agriculture;
natural hazards;
change studies;
environmental assessments and their interventions;
assessments of the technological impact on people and society;
evaluations of political processes and many more.
a good honours degree awarded by a British or approved overseas university. Normally the degree level should be at second-class honours level or higher and contain one or more aspects from the GIS, geographical, Earth, environmental, computer or biological sciences as the major field(s) of study; or
for those without formal undergraduate qualifications, be able to demonstrate extensive work experience or career development in the field of GIS.
