The Geospatial Sciences (Hydrographic Surveying) MSc provides students with the theory, tools and techniques for working with geospatial data in the marine environment, from acquisition to processing and analysis. Students have the opportunity to engage and work with academics and industrial partners on cutting-edge research through seminars and a dissertation. The programme educates students in the marine geospatial sciences, equipping them for careers in this rapidly developing subject. Students will gain broad knowledge of the means of acquiring, processing, and analysing spatial data in the marine context –including using modern vessel-based acoustic techniques, satellite positioning and autonomous survey vessels. Students who successfully complete the programme will be CAT A hydrographic surveyors, the highest certification in the field internationally.
