It combines theoretical materials with extensive hands-on exercises, covering the acquisition, manipulation, analysis, and interpretation of various forms of geospatial data. Graduates will gain a comprehensive overview of Remote Sensing and GIS, practical experience with a wide range of relevant software packages, and the ability to operate professionally in the geospatial industry.

The program addresses the demand in both the industrial and public sectors for science-qualified geospatial personnel. These professionals can use remote sensing data and advanced spatial analytical skills to interpret big data, informing planning and development across various disciplines. Those completing the Master's component will also demonstrate their ability to undertake and present independent research at an advanced level.

If you don't want to study for a PG Diploma or Masters, you can take individual modules or a PG Certificate (4 modules) that provides a solid grounding in the principles and practice of Remote Sensing and GIS.

To maximise accessibility and learning opportunities, this course is delivered fully online in a part-time format.
