Applying new technologies to important geographical problems, Geography and Geographical Information Science helps us understand human-environment relationships, and how they vary across time and space. Land surveying and map-making have been revolutionised by advanced digital systems which can intelligently acquire, analyse and present geospatial information. If you have a passion for computing, geography or mathematics, and spatial data, this is your course.
This degree will equip you with the expertise to become a geographical information scientist with a solid grasp of key practical, numerical and computational capabilities. We place a strong emphasis on active learning through ‘hands-on’ practice. We offer vibrant teaching opportunities by world-leading academics in an engaging and inspiring learning community. We will equip you with the professional tools and graduate mindset you will need to help solve some of today’s ‘grand challenges’. Course assessments are diverse and integrative, allowing you to confidently master critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, entrepreneurship and team-working skills.
