The Postgraduate Diploma in Geospatial Data Science (PGDipGDS) programme provides foundational experience and knowledge of geospatial technology. Graduates will be prepared for entry-level geospatial roles, and also for further postgraduate study.

 

You will learn programming, research analysis, database management, geospatial technology, and communication of findings. The programme combines expertise from areas such as Data Science, Computer Science, Geography, and Environmental Science.

 

What will my study involve?

• UC has extensive research strengths and strategic partnerships in the field of geospatial technology, such as Toi Hangarau | Geospatial Research Institute.
• Geospatial science is recognised on Immigration NZ’s current Long-Term Skill Shortage List.
• An optional internship course provides an opportunity for students to practice their knowledge in the workplace, enabling experiential learning and engaging in critical thinking and problem solving in a business environment.
