Geospatial intelligence is the field of extracting actionable knowledge from location-based data.

It can help urban planners to make better informed site selection decisions, conservationists to predict impacts from climate change, agriculturalists to improve paddock management decisions, and geologists to construct models to narrow the exploration search space.

Students will graduate from these courses with skillsets combining remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), data management, visualisation and other geospatial tools that enable them to describe, analyse, dissect and interpret large, diverse datasets. 

This course will help you increase your knowledge of geospatial intelligence, and strengthen your skills in geospatial analytics, location-allocation, dataset integration and modelling of multiple datasets. You will also learn how to write scripts to automate complex tasks. 

In your second year, you will be required to undertake a critical literature review and complete a significant research project on a chosen topic. 

This course is suitable for those seeking a career change or to boost their career.
