The field of spatial science involves the exploration of geographical association through different methods of spatial analysis and inquiry.
Challenges faced in addressing impacts of climate change, natural hazards and changing population pressures can often be addressed from a spatial perspective.
Expansion in the availability of geographically referenced data has resulted from advances in satellite and aerial-borne remotely sensed technologies and the proliferation of spatially referenced databases. The utilisation of this information in understanding processes and addressing critical social and environmental problems has increased demand for interpretive, analysis and modelling theories and methodologies that deal with the spatio-temporal dimension.
This program has been designed to equip students with in-depth knowledge, understanding and expertise in GIS, spatial modelling and remote sensing required for professionals in this field.
Rapid expansion of the spatial science discipline over the past five years has generated increased demand for individuals with post graduate level qualifications in this field.
