"Description\nMaps and data visualisations play a major role in the way we conceive, interpret and communicate the ever more diverse and complex forms of data collected about the planet. This module will equip students with an in-depth knowledge of the principles of good visualisation and enable them to deploy complex cartographical techniques in the creation of sophisticated maps and graphics. The course will be of interest to any students seeking careers where communicating with data is an important skill.\n\nThe course aims are as follows:\n\n1. To equip and empower students to create robust, reliable and pioneering maps and graphics from a range of innovative sources of data.\n2. To critique current visualisation practice and place it in social and societal context.\n3. Develop students’ ability to apply quantitative skills and use secondary data to understand current social issues and public policy debates.\n4. Develop students’ ability to communicate the complexities/ limitations of data and data analysis.\n\nAfter completing this module students will:\n1. Emulate the latest developments and best practice in data visualisation and mapping.\n2. Develop competencies in different software packages in order to exploit the full breadth of data available for advanced mapping and visualisation.\n3. Become proficient in data storytelling through complex datasets.\n4. Have a portfolio of work that can be used as examples for job interviews or in applications for further study." . .
