Admissions

Admissions decisions are based on the following information provided on your application form or supporting documents:

  • your undergraduate degree qualification(s);
  • details of your relevant GIS work experience or knowledge;
  • details of your skills relevant in an academic context such as experience of computing, statistics, report writing or independent research;
  • two reference letters;
  • evidence of your English proficiency if English is not your first language; and
  • any additional written work requested by the admissions tutor at a later date.

If the main subject of your undergraduate degree is not directly relevant to the MSc in GISc programme, you may be asked to complete an external qualifying course or programme prior to being admitted onto the programme.
