OverviewGeographical Information Science (GIScience) in application has the potential to change the world. From agriculture, climate change and ecology through to weather, utilities and transportation, there are hundreds of applications of GI Science and a myriad of benefits to society. Geospatial data is used to solve problems in all sorts of For example, satellite imagery can be used to observe iceberg formation and understand glacial processes weather information can be used to help filter claims for insurance companies traffic flow information can be used to improve ambulance response times geovisualisations can be used to create 3D views of locations and drone footage can be used to manage forests.Join our MSc Geographical Information Science to learn the entire workflow of geospatial data – from data collection, analysis and modelling through to mapping, generating predictions and validating your findingsOur carefully designed programme means that whether you have a background in geography or are new to it and looking to change paths, you will find the programme challenging and rewardingWe enable you to develop practical skills such as coding, drone analysis, remote sensing workflows and geo-visualisations, as well as key employability skills such as group work, communication, and presentationOur location in the beautiful South West enables us to provide field trips to unique sites such as Dartmoor National Park and engage with partners such as the Environment Agency and TreeconomicsYou can tailor your degree to your career aspirations by undertaking an applied project which can be either research-led or consultancy focusedYou will graduate into the Exeter Geographic Information Systems (GIS) network made up of 300 GIS professionals in diverse roles at various organisations and be equipped to pursue careers in the spatial information industry, national and local government, consultancies, utilities and research organisations
A 2:1 degree. An understanding of potential applications of geographic information systems (GIS) is all that is required as students take a core module in their first term covering fundamentals, such as cartographic principles, web maps, responsible mapping, data file management and introduction to coding. This serves as a recap for those with existing knowledge but offers thought provoking challenges through the bespoke content design of this course. Applicants with workplace experience will be considered on an individual basis.
