This program seeks to provide education and training in recently adopted
methods of digital spatial data handling, with special reference to thematic
mapping relevant to the environmental and social sciences, planning and
facilities management. Students will learn how to test and derive information
from a range of data products, including satellite images and data sets from
public and commercial spatial data vendors. In addition, units offered include
one that introduces students to the use and applications of the Global
Positioning System run by NAVSTAR, another about analysis of the digital data
behind satellite images, and others that deal with spatial analysis using the
vector and the raster data models, and spatial modelling for network analysis
and for decision making and conflict resolution.
The program of study is open to candidates with a bachelors degree. Those who do not have a bachelors degree but who have a minimum of five years relevant work experience may also be admitted. Relevant experience includes work at senior level in mapping activities. Those seeking admission on the basis of relevant work experience must submit a dossier including a curriculum vitae, position description and three letters of recommendation, and a statement of up to 1000 words outlining their career objectives and reasons for applying for the program.
