Course overview

The course is based on spatial (geographic) data, and how it can be utilised within a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) environment. This includes the input, storage, and management of spatial data; analysing and modelling spatial data; and the various outputs (maps and charts) from a GIS. With a strong practical focus, it teaches students vector and raster data models; projections and coordinate systems; spatial analysis tools and methods; map design and spatial data visualisation techniques; where and how to source spatial data; data quality issues; and how GIS has been used in different industries and fields of research.
