BA/BS in Spatial Information and Digital Technology

Spatial Information and Digital Technology at Shanghai Ocean University was established in 2010 and is a national first-class undergraduate programme. It trains graduates for ocean information work, combining marine science fundamentals with modern spatial detection and information processing. The programme is an interdisciplinary applied degree that supports smart ocean development. The curriculum is organised around the acquisition, computation and application of marine information across its life cycle. Practical training uses a research vessel for ocean survey work, alongside teaching bases and innovation competitions. Students also study geographic information systems as part of the interdisciplinary training. The faculty includes professors, associate professors and staff with doctoral and overseas experience. The programme maintains joint teaching and practice arrangements with industry partners. Students are trained in information processing and modern spatial detection skills.
