MSc in Geographic Information Science
Program Available at DIT Bolton Street, Dublin 1 campus
Geographic Information Systems are widely-used indispensable tools for governance, commerce, and environmental and social science in Ireland and worldwide. Over the next few years, it is forecast that the area of GIS will grow rapidly. This will lead to the need for highly qualified professionals in all areas of the geospatial industry. The MSc program in Geographic Information Science presents an opportunity to develop and build on your previous learning and to deepen your understanding and knowledge of essential principles, practices, and applications of geospatial technologies.
Competency in information technology skills has consistently been identified as a critical need in the geospatial industry and in the wider workplace in Ireland. This program has been designed specifically to address these issues and will provide graduates with a thorough grounding in information technology including spatial databases and web technology as well as programming skills tailored to the particular requirements of geospatial data.
This is a conversion program to enable graduates of a related discipline or current practitioners in the geospatial or related industry to acquire a qualification in Geographic Information Science at Masters Level. The program is delivered within Spatial Information Sciences in the School of Surveying and Construction Management in DIT Bolton Street. A maximum intake of 20 students is planned from different disciplines and backgrounds.
