The MSc Geoinformatics addresses the need for technically aware and competent postgraduates to work in the field of geoinformatics, particularly as applied to environmental and resource management. This twelve month full-time course covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of geoinformatics, including Geographical Information Systems and Science (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), geospatial data analysis and visualisation, programming and internet GIS. The course consists of 60 credits of taught modules, followed by independent research towards a dissertation, written up as an 8,000 word scientific paper, worth 30 credits. In addition to the taught modules, you will have the opportunity to meet practitioners through regular seminars led by experts from Ireland and abroad, visits to local geoinformatics enterprises and attendance at relevant Irish conferences. The course introduces you to the foundational concepts of geoinformatics in the first teaching period, with lectures and practical classes. These skills are developed in the second teaching period with more advanced digital image processing, internet GIS and applications of geoinformatics, again taught through lectures, practical classes and workshops. On completion of the taught modules you undertake the dissertation (research project) in an area of your choice within the geoinformatics discipline over the summer.
