Bachelor of Geospatial Science
Dive deep into data. Make it meaningful. Then get creative to solve some of the complex problems facing the environment and help to make people’s everyday lives a little easier. The Bachelor of Geospatial Science from Charles Sturt University equips you to pilot advanced technologies in order to harness the world of data – then use the intelligence to shape our world.
As a geospatial scientist you’ll study the relationships between physical locations, people, and earth processes. And you’ll develop the skills and understanding to make connections between people, places and processes.
Course highlights
The right skills
Begin the Bachelor of Geospatial Science with a solid foundation in geographic information science, remote sensing and cartography. Then build your own unique knowledge platform by specialising in information science, mathematics, ecology, geography, agriculture or emergency management.
Practical, relevant experience
Designed in consultation with experts to maximise industry relevance, this course gives you plenty of hands-on experience right from the start. You’ll be solving geospatial problems and diving into work placements from your first year of study.
A fresh approach
While many geospatial science undergraduate degrees concentrate on professional surveying practice, the Bachelor of Geospatial Science takes a fresh approach. This course offers you a unique opportunity to focus on geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing in a dedicated degree.
