Bachelor of Science (Geospatial Science)

• Study Geospatial Science in the Bachelor of Science and be able to provide expert analysis and advice about what shapes our world.
• This important field of study helps to answer questions and draw conclusions about the relationship between people, places and the environment, and to help predict trends and patterns for the future.
• Explore geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods, tools, and techniques that support decision-making in many applications areas and develop practical experience alongside technical, analytical and leadership skills. 
• Work with sophisticated technology and tools, including drones, satellite imagery, maps, and laser measurement systems for 3D mapping and visualisation of the natural and built environment. 
• Combine your Geospatial Science courses with a second major, such as Information Technology, Mathematics & Statistics, or Agricultural Science, or choose between a range of electives to tailor your unique career path.

Further study

If you want to build on your Science knowledge and gain research skills, you can go onto studying the Bachelor of Science (Honours).

Pre-requisites

• Subject pre-requisite: General Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent.

To study this degree we assume you have sound knowledge in:

• English (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent

We assume that your knowledge is equivalent to a grade C or higher in Units 3 and 4 at high school level (typically studied in Year 12). Find out more about assumed knowledge.

In addition, it is also recommended that you have studied one of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics (Units 3 & 4, C) or equivalent.

English language requirements

You are required to satisfy the applicable English language requirements and this degree requires a minimum of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. If you do not meet the English language requirements you may apply to study a University-approved English language program.

Recognition of prior learning or work experience

If you have previously studied in your home country, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning to reduce the number of courses that you need to study to finish your program.

As a graduate from this major you will have adequate knowledge of spatial information systems to be eligible for employment and certification, where appropriate, as a GIS spatial scientist, cartographer, photogrammetrist, geodesist, or geospatial analyst and often find work in transport, primary industries, environment and online mapping sectors.

Your actual fees may vary depending on the courses you select. We review our fees annually so these may be subject to change.
