Overview

Master of Geospatial Science

Geospatial scientists are experts in using spatial analytics to make sense of big spatial data captured from the latest sensor technologies.

A Master of Geo-spatial Science will prepare you for leadership roles in this field, building your understanding of spatial analytics and big spatial data for making critical decisions about our built and natural environment. 

You'll gain professional-level expertise in the analysis, management, capture and visualization of spatial information, and become proficient in the latest technologies and infrastructures to support these skills.

Through this course you will develop a unique breadth of expertise across Geo-spatial science, including:

  • knowledge of fundamental spatial information technologies, including geographic information systems (GIS), Geo-spatial programming, spatial databases, and cloud and mobile Geo-spatial computing.
  • advanced skills in mapping and visualization for creating engaging and interactive Geo-spatial presentations.
  • knowledge of the latest spatial data capture systems, including satellite remote sensing, GPS satellite positioning, drone and aerial imagery, wearable sensors, sensor networks, and crowdsourced data.
  • specialized knowledge in key areas that complement Geo-spatial science, and tailored to your specific needs, which may include environmental science, natural resource management, computer science, business and project management, architecture and urban planning, mathematics or statistics.

Industry connections

RMIT has extensive links with industry across all aspects of spatial sciences, including remote sensing, geographic information systems, geovisualisation, photogrammetry, surveying, cartography, land administration and land management. 

This degree has strong links across industry with many opportunities for you to participate in industry-related teaching and learning activities such as field and project work.

As part of your studies, you can conduct research by liaising with industry to define/create a problem, undertake an analysis and create a report, as well as present your research and receive feedback from industry partners.

This program enjoys an excellent reputation and is widely recognised by industry employers as producing graduates who are well informed, motivated, adaptable and industry-ready.
