An INDUSTRY SPONSORED PROGRAMME introduced in 2007
The MSc in Geospatial & Mapping Sciences is a new Master’s programme available full or part-time for those seeking a career in Geomatics (land and engineering surveying, hydrographic surveying, land registration/cadastre and LIS, photogrammetry and remote sensing, or the management of geospatial information). The focus of the programme is on understanding the theory and practice of geospatial data collection, data and information quality, applications of survey information and research and development in the field of Geomatics. The programme has been developed in close collaboration with industry to meet the global demand for professionals and researchers in this field and the academic requirements for membership of relevant professional bodies. It is also possible to study for a Postgraduate Certificate, a Postgraduate Diploma or to attend individual courses for continuing professional development (CPD).
