The Master of Applied Spatial Science has been designed to provide upskilling in geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing skills to a diverse array of vocations. The course is aimed at those with little or no previous spatial science experience and can be undertaken by students with a bachelor's degree in any field. The course will guide you through the fundamentals and develop more advanced geospatial skills. The outcome will be that you will be able to solve real-world problems across a diverse range of fields and vocations, such as environmental science, health, agriculture, mining, disaster and emergency management, and even tourism and business.
Spatial Science skills are in high demand in Australia and overseas, and spatial science graduates can work across a broad range of roles, including Spatial Analysts, Spatial Ecologists, GIS Analysts, Remote Sensing Specialists, Geospatial Intelligence Analysts, Geospatial Data Analysts, Geomarketing Officers, Cartographers, Surveyor assistants, Surveyor Technicians, or Drone Pilots/Photogrammetrists. Students in this course actively participate in professional work placements and field work.
Through this course, you will gain important transferable employability skills, including collaboration, preparing a resume and addressing selection criteria, clear scientific writing, report writing, and preparing and delivering oral presentations.
The Graduate Certificate of Spatial Science is nested within the Master's degree course as an entry and exit pathway.
