"This course introduces Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), with a focus on positioning - including hands-on practical experience of collecting and processing data. It also details co-ordinate reference systems and gives an overview of other satellite geodesy techniques.\n\nOutcome:\nOn completing this unit students will be able to:\r\n\r\n■ Describe how GNSS works (including time, orbits, signals, etc)\r\n\r\n■ Give an overview of space geodesy capabilities and how they contribute to the ITRF\r\n\r\n■ Describe the mathematical models for pseudo-range and carrier phase-based modes of positioning\r\n\r\n■ Explain the mathematical models for both single receiver (absolute) positioning and relative positioning\r\n\r\n■ Describe and assess GNSS error sources and biases, e.g. atmospheric delays and multipath\r\n\r\n■ Select an appropriate working mode for a particular application\r\n\r\n■ Discuss current status and future trends of GNSS\r\n\r\n■ Process GNSS data using appropriate software and critically analyse the results" . .

"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 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
