Overview

Within an applied setting, emphasis is placed on developing skills in the visualisation, modelling and statistical analysis of conventional and novel sources of data, ranging from censuses and social surveys through to satellite imagery and social media using both web-based and traditional techniques.

Key Features

This Geographic Data Science programme from University of Liverpool is for you if you want to understand and analyse the role of geography in everyday life through geographical and computational reasoning.
Human activity is increasingly associated with the generation of large volumes of data. For example, transactional data collated by retailers for marketing and store location purposes, administrative data assembled to help with the efficient running of public services, data shadows created through social media use, and an increased prevalence of smart-card linked transport systems record our travel behaviours.

Career prospects

This programme will give you the high-level skills you need to kickstart your career in applied geographical information science, data science with a geographic focus, or research with expertise in spatial analysis, GIS, and data science.
Your career options after graduation are diverse and exciting. You might pursue a PhD or postdoctoral research, work as a GIS/Data Science consultant, be employed in the commercial or public sector, work in IT consulting, or teach in higher education. With the programming and web development skills you’ll gain, you’ll be in high demand in the job market for your newer spatial data handling skills, which are more in demand than traditional GIS skills.
