"This module aims to introduce students to a range of applications that shape the current state-of the art in professional GI Science (GISc) and to show how various elements of GISc can be brought together to solve real-world problems. The module will be taught as a mix of lectures, practicals, workshops and employer visits. This module is intended to extend the theoretical aspects of GISc into practice by taking a problem-oriented approach, incorporating some group-work. The module will include introductions to the design and use of Web-GIS, web apps and Critical GIS. In addition contemporary applications in a range of subject areas will emphasise how geospatial data knowledge shapes society today. A final strand will incorporate a visitor programme from industry professionals to prepare students for work placements and contemporary directions in the GI Science industry. There will also be a significant independent project component to encourage students to engage with contemporary applications in Web-GIS data and technologies to develop their own ideas and knowledge.\n\nOutcome:\r\nOn successful completion of the module, students should be able to:\r\nIdentify a range of contemporary GI Science applications within the GI industry\r\nCritically appreciate the relationship between software, data, and solving problems\r\nManipulate and display spatial information within Web-GIS environments\r\nRecognise the application of GI science and geospatial data in a range of social, business and technical settings." . .

"Given the wider development of Citizen GIS and an increased public awareness and knowledge of the power and value of spatial data, vastly increased amounts of such data from different sources are now available to researchers. However, in order to turn these data into useful information, they must be efficiently managed, processed and analysed before being displayed in a comprehensible format. Geographical Information Systems and the associated field of Remote Sensing greatly aid us in such tasks. The course is equally split between both parts - GIS and Remote Sensing - with four core module introducing the theory and practice of both subject at an introductory and advanced level. Geographical Information Systems or GIS as they are better known, are widely used in a wide variety of subject fields across the physical and social sciences and even in the humanities, with applicability in everything from archaeology and astronomy to geomorphology and globalisation to soil science and social planning. Remote Sensing – the analysis and interpretation of aerial and satellite imagery – has transformed the manner in which we view the Earth. The synoptic view of the Earth that it has given us has greatly improved our understanding of atmospheric and oceanic processes, sustained environmental management and the interaction of humans with the natural world. It is now a standard research tool in many fields such as geology, geography, pollution control, agriculture and climatology. Additional optional modules in Programming, Spatial Databases and Marine Remote Sensing are also available to students who want to develop the technical side more fully, though the course has a strong applied flavour throughout. In addition, all students complete a work placement in the summer months which allows them to gain valuable practical experience to test and develop the skills learnt across the course.\r\n\r\nAims of the Course\r\n\r\n- To provide highly qualified, motivated graduates who have been trained in Geographical Information Systems, Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing and who can apply the information technology skills they obtain.\r\n\r\n- To produce marketable graduates who will make significant contributions to GIS and RS application areas including; industry, government, academia, the community and voluntary sector and other public and private bodies.\r\n\r\n- To provide an understanding of Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing, the technology involved and its applications for specific investigations."@en . . . .

"The MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing is first and foremost a course to skill students for work in a wide range of employment areas. These include a wide range of government and semi-state agencies, local authorities and the voluntary sector, especially in areas associated with the environment and planning. In addition, graduates have worked in a wide range of private sector organisations and businesses, where the ability to work with and critically managed big spatial data is increasingly valued. Successful students have also proceeded to PhD level research and gained employment in academia."@en . "no data" . "TRUE" . "Downstream"@en . . . . . . . . . .
