The leading postgraduate programme in remote sensing and environmental mapping in the UK, looking at how data is collected on the terrestrial biosphere, atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere.
About this degree
On this course, you will engage with the theories and practice around remote sensing, mapping and data analysis.听
Throughout your studies, you will gain an understanding of the foundational principles, technologies and applications that help us address local, regional and global challenges.
The knowledge and skills you learn will be invaluable for both a career in remote sensing and further research in academics, governmental and industry settings.听
Your studies will include learning essential coding and data anlysis techniques, helping you to understand complex information and translate it into actionable insights.听
Additionally, you will graduate with vital transferable skills including written and verbal communication, to help you take on leadership roles in the sector and more widely.听
Who is this course for?
You will be best suited for the MSc in Remote Sensing and Environmental Mapping if you are interested in understanding and applying these tools in environmental modelling and mapping.
A background in environmental science, quantitative science, physics or engineering would be helpful.
But the programme is also ideal for students with applied undergraduate degrees such as geography, forestry and environmental management.
