Course Structure
Provision of research supervision and education from leading researchers in geospatial intelligence.
A 100% research programme can be followed or a mixed programme of a substantial research project plus up to 40% taught modules from the MSc in GIS and/or the MSc in Navigation.
Research projects will be defined jointly with the student and, where appropriate, their sponsor. The supervised research can be undertaken in-situ with an existing employer or at the University. The project will be shaped to be both educational and provide a learning experience in terms of skills development, developing breadth of disciplinary awareness and knowledge and to challenge the student in research skills and innovative thinking. Projects will be constructed to be achievable over one year of full-time study or over two to three years of part-time study
