Description
This programme provides an interdisciplinary understanding of the use of Remote Sensing and image processing techniques in conjunction with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the management, analysis and display of spatial/environmental data.
In the first term, students study courses providing a basic foundation in GIS case studies in RS and GIS programming and database management. In the second term, students progress to advanced courses, such as Advanced Spacial Modelling and Advanced Image Processing.
Applied remote sensing courses train the students in research methodologies through the integrated application of Remote Sensing techniques to a small project. This work ranges over…

This programme provides an interdisciplinary understanding of the use of Remote Sensing and image processing techniques in conjunction with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the management, analysis and display of spatial/environmental data.
In the first term, students study courses providing a basic foundation in GIS case studies in RS and GIS programming and database management. In the second term, students progress to advanced courses, such as Advanced Spacial Modelling and Advanced Image Processing.
Applied remote sensing courses train the students in research methodologies through the integrated application of Remote Sensing techniques to a small project. This work ranges over project planning procedures, field data acquisition and ground truthing, data collection, input analysis, field checking, output and reporting.
The programme culminates in a Remote Sensing dissertation, an individual piece of research focused on the application of Remote Sensing techniques to a specific problem. This research may form an extension or development of topics covered in the preceding applications and case studies courses.
This is a highly respected programme in the UK geographic information industry, and graduates are highly sought after in private industry, agencies and government.
The university also offers PGDip/MSc Geographical Information Systems with Remote Sensing (see page 140), which has the same content as this programme. The title of the degree for which the student receives his or her award is determined by the nature of the student's final dissertation. A student with a GIS-focused dissertation is awarded a degree for the Geographical Information Systems with Remote Sensing programme; a student with a dissertation focused on remote sensing is awarded a degree for the Remote Sensing with Geographical Information Systems programme.
