Stream Outline

This specialisation provides students with advanced study options across a range of topics in geospatial engineering, including, advanced surveying; modern geodesy and geopositioning; GPS/GNSS technology; geospatial image analysis; Geographic Information Systems (GIS); remote sensing. The program provides sufficient knowledge about the science and practice of geospatial engineering which should be required for students moving to industry or staying in the graduate program pursuing their PhD studies.

Mode of Delivery
This specialisation is offered on-campus only.
