Geographical information is integrated into our day-to-day life and is crucial to a growing number of industries in both the public and private sectors.
Our Geographical Information Science MSc will provide you with in-depth and specialist knowledge of GIS techniques. You'll focus on scientific, technical and computational aspects of Geographical Information Science (GIScience), with particular reference to the socioeconomic and environmental sciences.
Core modules introduce GIS, a rapidly evolving area in business and environmental applications. You'll be introduced to GIS packages and a range of data sources/techniques, useful for those wanting to undertake social and environmental science research and those keen to understand the application of geotechnology as practitioners. You'll study theories and concepts underpinning GIS and have the chance to explore topics including advanced spatial data visualisation, digital image processing, and geodemographics.
As technology continues to advance, more and more organisations will be seeking trained specialists in this field to help them drive their businesses forward - which is why studying this MSc could open you up to many career opportunities.
