Course summary
Geographical Information Science (GIS) provides powerful solutions to real-world problems using the world’s most advanced technologies.GIS captures, stores, manages and displays data related to positions on the Earth’s surface so you can better understand spatial patterns and relationships.Every day around the world, GIS is used to solve complex problems. As a result, it is becoming integrated into almost every discipline.From population dynamics, estate planning, logistics management, public health surveillance, and telecommunications to tracking deforestation, environmental management and predicting climate change - GIS is changing how the world works.Our successful MSc Geographical Information Science was the first of its type in the world.It has a heritage of over 30 years and approaching 1000 graduates. Nevertheless, we continually refresh the programme to keep you abreast of the latest technological changes and industry trends.You will gain critical theoretical knowledge, develop strong practical skills and undertake supervised independent research, all under the guidance of our internationally recognised staff.In addition, you will become part of our unique Edinburgh Earth Observatory Seminar Series. We run these events in association with AGI-Scotland (Association For Geographic Information.) The events will enable you to meet a range of professionals and become exposed to new ideas, together with educational and job opportunities.
