[GIS相關大學課程介紹] 英國利茲大學 University of Leeds - 研究生課程 MSc Geographical Information Science / MSc Geographical Information Systems

 因為迷姐專行GIS，

而香港都沒太多online 資源介紹～

只好自己更生一下😗

第一科要介紹的是

英國利茲大學 University of Leeds

MSc Geographical Information Science / MSc Geographical Information Systems

咁點解會有兩個名呢～

係因為佢地有分local係英國本土讀 Geographical Information Systems MSc

同一款online distance learning咁樣讀 Geographical Information Science MSc

📜📜📜📜📜

咁雖然佢地兩個科名唔一樣，

內容都的確有微細分別～

但大致上都係該學的不會讓你能逃避的😌

以下是兩個課程的選科表（要修滿180 credits)：

Geographical Information Systems MSc		Geographical Information Science (online) MSc
Compulsory modules		Compulsory modules
Professional and Personal Development – 30 credits	This module aims to develop students’ technical skills through exposure to non-traditional software.	Professional and Personal Development – 15 credits	This module aims to develop students’ technical skills through exposure to non-traditional software.
GIS Data Visualisation and Analysis – 30 credits	This module develops core visualisation and spatial analysis and statistical skills required for the analysis of geographically referenced data focussing on a range of socio-economic and environmental applications.	GIS Data Visualisation and Analysis 1 – 15 credits	This module develops core visualisation and spatial analysis and statistical skills required for the analysis of geographically referenced data.
		GIS Data Visualisation and Analysis 2 – 15 credits	This module develops core and intermediate spatial analysis skills required for the analysis of geographically referenced data focussing on a range of socio-economic and environmental applications.
		Programming for Geographical Information Analysis – 15 credits	This module provides foundation level skills in computer programming.
Dissertation – 60 credits	This dissertation module provides an opportunity to develop an individual programme of research over a nine-month period. Students may decide to expand on work/ideas covered as part of their programme or to select a new issue to explore. Students will work closely under the guidance of an allocated supervisor and are expected to complete an independent piece of academic work.

GIS and Environment – 15 credits	This module looks at the many ways in which GIS can be applied to the study of the environmental sciences including modelling terrain, hydrology, ecology and land use. The module considers important issues in the application of GIS such as sampling strategies, scale and generalisation, error and uncertainty, and grid-based modelling before moving on to look at how these methods can be applied to gain a better understanding of landscape processes. The module concludes with a look at how GIS is being applied to inform better decisions about the natural environment within the human dimension of the planning process. The module is assessed through the completion of practical assignments and an individual project report.

Geodemographics and Neighbourhood Analysis – 15 credits	Area characteristics about neighbourhoods have widespread use in analyses which inform policy decision making in public (local and national government), and private (commercial) organisations as well as the third sector (charities). Area characteristics are also linked to individual level data to determine variations in health and educational application, for example. On this module, students will learn how to construct a variety of area measures and methods to incorporate these in analyses. The knowledge and skills involved are highly useful in many career settings including academic, public, private and third sector settings.

Digital Image Processing for Environmental Remote Sensing – 15 credits	On completion of this module students will:- have been introduced concepts, theories and methods of earth observation from aircraft and earth orbital satellites for environmental research and for input into GIS;- be able to use appropriate software to read, display, restore, enhance, classify and extract information about the land surface from diverse types of remote sensing images;- understand the standard workflow used to turn remote sensing data (i.e. images) into information (i.e. thematic outputs) in a range of applications.

Web-based GIS – 15 credits	This module skills students up to be able to demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the principles of web-based GIS; a working knowledge and understanding of client side and server side technologies as well as how to set up a working custom GIS-based web client and server.	Web-Based GIS – 15 credits	This module aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to develop web-based mapping applications using popular and industry-standard internet technologies. This module covers both client-side mapping libraries including Google Maps and Leaflet, alongside server-side technologies such as PHP and Database Management Systems. For the final assessment students have the opportunity to showcase their skills by developing an application of their choice.
Predictive Analytics – 15 credits	This module explores and evaluates a range of spatial modelling techniques used in an applied context to simulate and predict consumer behaviours.
Programming for Geographical Information Analysis: Core Skills – 15 credits	This module provides foundation level skills in computer programming. It introduces different types of programming and software development practice in general and in a geographical context.
		Business and Service Planning – 15 credits	This module considers the provision of public and private services (such as retail, healthcare, transport and emergency services) from both demand and supply side perspectives. We provide a brief introduction to public sector service provision before considering the planning and evaluation of healthcare, transport and emergency services provision at a local level in urban and rural contexts. We focus on the application of spatial analysis to capture demand, supply and measures of utilization and accessibility. We then focus in detail on the application of these modelling tools in a retail context. Students apply data-driven spatial models in a business context, drawing on examples from the grocery sector. This module is applied in nature and involves extensive use of GIS and spatial modelling tools. Assessment is based on interpretation of modelled outputs within a public sector and business service provision context.
		Visualisation for Geographic Data Science – 15 credits	This module will equip students with the technical and critical-reasoning skills to explore, analyse and communicate structure in geospatial datasets using visualization. Through the module students will learn modern techniques for processing and wrangling geospatial data, design and critique statistical graphics that expose structure in geographic data and develop expertise in communicating statistical effects under uncertainty. All data analysis activity will be performed within the R statistical programming environment. Whilst an advantage, prior familiarity with R or programming concepts is not a requirement.

英國是每年9月開學的～

Leeds申請季基本上是前一年10月左右開始

呢一科係一直rolling base 直到開學前的7月為止～

入學要求方面：

A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in a relevant subject such as geography, earth or environmental science, economics or a social science, mathematics, computer science or other subjects where good numeracy and/or computing skills can be demonstrated.

Relevant work experience and professional training courses are viewed positively and are taken into account particularly for candidates whose first degree grade falls below the normal minimum requirement.

簡單d姐係要GPA過3.0～

如果唔夠但又有工作經驗，

都可以考慮～

甚至工作經驗某程度上比GPA更有優勢💁

    local係英國本土讀 Geographical Information Systems MSc

IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any component. For other English qualifications, read English language equivalent qualifications.

    online distance learning咁樣讀 Geographical Information Science MSc 

IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in listening, speaking and reading and 6.5 in writing.. For other English qualifications, read English language equivalent qualifications.

  

兩科有好細微差別係個writing到，

必需要留意的！

黎到最重要的環節 — 學費：

Geographical Information Systems MSc: £24,250 (total)

Geographical Information Science MSc: £10,250 (total)

對對對～

大家沒看錯！

遙距的因為沒有使用本土設施類～

學費是少咗一半！！！

姐係大概十萬就可以完成晒整個master～💴

以香港而家d master學費升幅

呢個價錢同課程內容都算性價比好高質~

呢一科介紹到此為此 😉
