MSc Remote Sensing and Environmental Mapping

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

Prepare for a career in remote sensing and environmental mapping by enrolling in the UK’s leading master’s programme in this field. You’ll explore advanced techniques for using remote sensing—from ground-based to spaceborne platforms—to gather critical environmental data on the terrestrial biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and cryosphere. This course offers exceptional preparation for careers in industry, academia, or government.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline or overseas qualification of equivalent standard (e.g. oceanography, marine studies, geography, civil engineering, geology, mathematics, and physics) is required. Relevant work experience will also be considered.
