This integrated MSc Geographical Information Science and Earth Observation creates experts capable of creating, managing and analysing spatial data through advanced technologies.
With a legacy spanning over 40 years and nearly 1000 graduates from our Geographical Information Science (GIS) programme, combined with our expertise in Earth observation, we offer a fused and groundbreaking experience focused on innovation and applicability in both GIS and Earth observation.
This MSc offers a curriculum that balances theoretical foundations with practical application. You will gain critical insights into GIS's capability to capture, store, manage, and display data related to Earth's positions, allowing you to understand spatial relationships, patterns, and processes.
The programme also delves into the utilisation of Earth observation data collected via satellites, aircraft, and UAVs, focusing on its implications for major global challenges like sustainable development, disaster risk reduction, and climate change.
The programme is designed not only to impart theoretical knowledge, but also to develop strong practical skills through hands-on training in state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies. We are one of the few degree programmes in this subject area to offer a residential field trip where you get to use hands-on geospatial technology for data collection, including the latest UAVs.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this programme, we welcome students from diverse backgrounds, enhancing collaborative learning and innovation. These backgrounds include:
- humanities
- natural sciences
- engineering
- computer science
- social sciences
- archaeology
