Geospatial scientists measure, map and model our world. They play a critical role in the decisions that affect our society and influence the world of tomorrow.
In this degree you'll delve into the science of collecting, analysing and interpreting geospatial information using advanced tools like Satellite Positioning Systems (e.g. GPS), 3D laser scanning, and drone-based sensors. You will learn how to manipulate and visualise complex data sets, extract meaningful information and products, and communicate your findings using advanced spatial modelling techniques.
Real-world projects and case studies will provide practical experience in analysing and explaining problems such as environmental management, climate change impacts, urban planning, natural resource management, and disaster response planning.
Our expert teaching staff will guide you through the latest trends and innovations in geospatial science, including big data analytics and geospatial modelling. This course will equip you with strong practical skills that are in high demand and will set you up for a rewarding career.
When you study with us, you'll be learning from the very best. We’re home to Australia’s top-rated geospatial research group* and your lecturers are world leading experts in their fields.
With the field of geospatial science presently facing a shortage of skilled professionals, this degree will provide you with plentiful job opportunities across various sectors such as urban planning, environmental management, transportation, public health, and natural resource management.
This degree can be combined to form a double degree. Study what you want, explore your options and find out how you can accelerate your career.
