1-Term Pathway - Pre Masters - Science and Engineering - Transfer to Master of Science in Geographical Information Systems

专业介绍

Whether you’re excited about engineering or crazy about computer science, this pathway helps you to develop your research and analysis skills, focusing on the areas that you’re most passionate about, preparing you for success in your future career.

Geospatial technologies are of increasing importance in many areas of commercial, industrial, and government employment, including nature conservation agencies, civil and coast engineering projects and marine and coastal zone management. As a result, the demand for courses in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and the related technologies has grown considerably.

A recent survey suggests that demand by employers for graduates with skills in the application of geospatial technology will continue to grow, particularly in areas where the practical application of spatial knowledge and understanding to environmental problems is important.

The Geographical Information Systems programme covers the fundamentals of techniques and tools for acquiring, storing, processing, classifying, analysing, and visualising spatially referenced data, and their application to the study of the Earth. This includes:

• Spatial databases
• Programming
• Simulation and modelling
• Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
• Digital mapping and cartography
• Airborne, satellite and UAV remote sensing
• Digital image processing
• Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
• WebGIS and Internet atlases
• Field data capture
• Mobile GIS
