Overview
This program is designed to provide an introduction to the theory and application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing, and is intended for students with an undergraduate degree that is not related to studies in GIS.
It provides a theoretical and practical framework for students from a range of graduate backgrounds, as well as those from the public sector and non-government organisations wishing to extend their choice of career path by acquiring knowledge and skills in the capture, synthesis and communication of spatially-referenced information.
The Graduate Certificate provides both a stand-alone program for the purposes of mid-career development, as well as an entry point into more advanced studies in the Graduate Diploma in Geographical Information Systems.
Students will learn skills in GIS which are applicable to a range of areas such as urban and regional planning, infrastructure management, transportation, the environment, biological sciences, biodiversity management and archaeology.
What will I study?
The complete program of study will be published in October 2008.
