About the course

On this postgraduate geographic data science course you will learn to apply data science, machine learning and geographic information system (GIS) techniques. This will enable you to gather, analyse and extract insights from geospatial data to uncover the underlying patterns driving various urban and natural environments.

Why choose this

Entry Requirements

At least a second-class honours degree (2:2) or equivalent in geography, computer science or a cognate discipline. In some instances we will consider professional experience in place of a degree.

Some experience of geographic information systems is desirable, but is not a requirement.

Applications are reviewed on their individual merits and your professional qualifications and/or relevant work experience will be taken into consideration positively. We actively support and encourage applications from mature learners.

Fees

Please see the university website for further information on fees for this course.
