"Geospatial fundamentals"@en . . "10" . "An introduction to the essential mathematical background of Geomatics, including co-ordinate systems, datums, map projections and co-ordinate transformations. Geospatial information acquisition, processing and management requires familiarity with certain concepts including: coordinate reference systems, datums and map projections, figures of the earth, 2&3D trigonometry, survey sampling, statistics, solving sets of equations, least squares adjustment, correlation, matrix algebra and computer programming, generally conducted within the frameworks established by national and international professional and standards organisations. It is the intention of this course to ensure that all programme participants have familiarity with these topics and having completed this, will be able to apply this knowledge in the gathering, processing and managing of geospatial data.\n\nOutcome:\nBy the end of this course students will be able to:\r\n\r\n■ Describe the basic principles of geodesy, including the size and shape of the Earth and its model, geodetic datums, map projections and coordinate reference systems;\r\n\r\n■ Explain the principles, concepts and application of coordinate datum transformations and map projection conversions including selecting appropriate map projections;\r\n\r\n■ Explain the principles and applications of least squares in surveying & mapping, using the central tendency theorem in statistics to determine the precision of a set of observations, and estimate their accuracy, and be able to determine the correlation between two sets of apparently independent variables.\r\n\r\n■ Demonstrate mathematical ability in trigonometry, statistics, calculus and linear algebra.\r\n\r\n■ Develop programming skills." . .

"This MSc in Geospatial & Mapping Sciences focuses on understanding the theory and practice of geospatial data collection and management. Topics covered include land, engineering and hydrographic surveying, data and geospatial information quality. The course draws on research and the latest developments in the field of geomatics, with a strong practical component. Key applications of geospatial skills support sustainable development, including measuring land and location of assets (e.g. transport routes, location of electric cables, forests), monitoring subsidence and sea level change, documenting heritage using laser scanning, and setting up and managing the coordinate system/mapping for a country. This programme is strongly endorsed by industry, accredited by both the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors."@en . . . . . . .

"Career opportunities include land surveyor, engineering surveyor, hydrographic surveyor, GIS specialist, environmental consulting. There is currently a very high demand for surveyors, especially in hydrographic survey, in support of offshore oil and renewable energy engineering and maintenance. Several of the key employers visit us each year to recruit students. In addition to the offshore energy industry, land surveyors are in demand in many parts of the world to support mining operations, major civil engineering projects and to provide surveying services for Land Registration. A strong background in data capture, datums and co-ordinate systems, and data processing can also be of value in the GIS and environmental management sectors.\r\n\r\nRecent graduates have gone on to work for companies such as the Ordnance Survey, Glanville Consultants, Jacobs, Babcocks, KOREC, Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors, Andrews Survey, Morgan Stanley, Fugro, AECOM, UTEC and Subsea 7. Positions include Land Surveyor, Offshore Surveyor, Analyst, Hydrographic Surveyor and Graduate Supervisor."@en . "no data" . "TRUE" . "Downstream"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . .
