University of Leeds MSc in GIS
This innovative MSc programme in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) builds on the considerable experience and expertise of the University of Leeds in successfully delivering taught Masters programmes in GIS. It also draws significantly on the considerable expertise within the University of Southampton in teaching GIS in non traditional settings. Other WUN partners such as Pennsylvania State University add expertise in other advanced areas of GIS.
All of the universities involved in this course are universally renowned for their GIS teaching and research. An additional contributor to the course content is the Leeds-based company GMAP, an extremely successful provider of GIS-based services to blue-chip multinational companies.
Our international GIS courses are tailored to meet a wide range of requirements covering areas of specialization as diverse as business, environment, health and planning.
Programme Aims
The overall aim of the programme is to provide open distance learning for people working in local enterprise or public sector organisations who require core training and skills development in Geographical Information Systems, or for students who want to study in their own environment and in their own time.
