The Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and application of remote sensing and GIS and is intended for students with an undergraduate degree that is not related to studies in GIS.

It provides a theoretical and practical framework for graduates from a variety of backgrounds, as well as those from the public sector and non-government organizations wishing to extend their choice of career path by acquiring knowledge and skills in the capture, synthesis and communication of geospatial information.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the diploma, a student will be able to:

• practice advanced skills in GIS analysis in a variety of areas as well as discuss and interpret more complex spatial information theory and methodologies.
• demonstrate an in-depth understanding of vector and raster GIS structures, relational databases, geodatabases, data input, data editing and raster interpolation methods.
• practice multispectral image interpretation and analysis through a range of geometric and radiometric enhancement techniques, image arithmetic and data fusion.
• extract useful information from remotely sensed data through a range of multispectral transformations, band ratios, and classification methodologies.
• demonstrate the practical application and analysis of GIS and remotely sensed data through the implementation of project work
