This degree is the leading Master's programme in remote sensing and environmental mapping in the UK. It offers the opportunity to study at an advanced level the ways in which remote sensing from ground-based to spaceborne platforms may be used to collect environmental information about the terrestrial biosphere, atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere at a range of scales and across wavelengths. Students develop an all-round knowledge of remote sensing, mapping and data analysis, including fundamental principles, current technological developments and applications to local, regional and global problems. They gain highly developed, marketable practical skills, particularly coding and data analysis, written and other communication skills to enable them to take leading roles in academic, government and industrial sectors.This MSc will appeal to students looking to understand and apply remote sensing and mapping methods in environmental monitoring and modelling. Students with backgrounds in environmental sciences quantitative sciences such as physics or engineering and also applied degrees, e.g. geography, forestry, and environmental management, will also benefit from studying this programme.
