The Postgraduate Diploma in Geospatial Data Science (PGDipGDS) programme provides foundational experience and knowledge of geospatial technology. Graduates will be prepared for entry-level geospatial roles, and also for further postgraduate study.
You will learn programming, research analysis, database management, geospatial technology, and communication of findings. The programme combines expertise from areas such as Data Science, Computer Science, Geography, and Environmental Science.
You will need a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent), with a minimum of a B Grade Point Average in 300-level courses in a subject relevant to geospatial analysis. Alternatively, you can apply based on three years of relevant professional experience in a related industry.
If English is not your first language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements. If you need help meeting these requirements, or would like to practise your English skills before studying, UC offers English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language programmes.
