A Master of Geospatial Science will prepare students for leadership roles in this field, building their understanding of spatial analytics and big spatial data for making critical decisions about the natural environment. Students will gain professional-level expertise in the analysis, management, capture and visualization of spatial information, and become proficient in the latest technologies and infrastructures to support these skills.
Through this course students will develop a unique breadth of expertise across geospatial science, including:
- Knowledge of fundamental spatial information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial programming, spatial databases, and cloud and mobile geospatial computing.
- Advanced skills in mapping and visualization for creating engaging and interactive geospatial presentations.
- Knowledge of the latest spatial data capture systems, including satellite remote sensing, GPS satellite positioning, drone and aerial imagery, wearable sensors, sensor networks, and crowdsourced data.
- Specialised knowledge in key areas that complement geospatial science, and tailored to specific needs, which may include environmental science, natural resource management, computer science, business and project management, architecture and urban planning, mathematics or statistics.
