The degree is similar to our Geographic Information Science BSc Honours, but includes a year in industry.

It is highly ICT-orientated and will appeal to students with an interest in technology, computing, mapping, geography and environmental management.

You learn a range of skills such as programming and data collection, and work with technology such as satellite imagery and informatics.

The degree is very hands-on, with plenty of opportunities to use our state-of-the-art software.

This combination of practical skills and specialist knowledge makes our graduates attractive to employers and we have exceptional employment rates.

• specialist land, air and offshore mapping companies
• central and local government agencies
• cartographic publishers
• suppliers of computer-based mapping technology and GIS
• utility companies
• civil engineering contractors
