The Master of Geographical Information Science and Technology provides industry-relevant training to allow you to pursue or further your career in global and Australian geospatial industry. You will learn the principles, techniques and applications of GIS and technology in a contextual environment from experts at the cutting edge of this field. The course provides you with the theoretical knowledge and technical skills necessary to develop and apply solutions based on GIS and technology to real-world problems using a range of the state-of-the-art spatial information or geospatial technologies including geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), spatial analysis and modelling, and decision support systems; design and implement methods for spatial data capture, design, develop and manage spatial databases; explore, integrate and analyse spatial data from multiple data sources; and to design and implement appropriate procedures for quality control, formulate, implement and manage GIS and remote sensing projects. As part of your study, you will have the opportunity to undertake supervised independent research or to complete an industry-based internship.
