Building on 25 years of excellence in postgraduate teaching of remote sensing, GIS, visualisation, digital mapping and cartography, this programme promotes the integrated study and application of the geospatial technologies through theory and practice, combining core techniques, programming, practical skills and environmental applications.
Geospatial technologies are of increasing importance in many areas of commercial, industrial, and government employment: for example in nature conservation agencies, hydrocarbon exploration, offshore and hydrographic survey, oilfield exploration and management, environmental consultancy, civil and coastal engineering projects, environmental modelling, precision agriculture, and marine and coastal zone management.
