PGCert in Geography and Cartography

The certificate readies students for public-sector posts requiring GIS skills, and the department notes it also suits industry, including firms that contract with governments at home and abroad. It can be completed full-time or part-time. Applicants from any discipline are welcome, though a working familiarity with computing is expected, and experience with GIS, remote sensing or cartography is preferred. International applicants and holders of foreign degrees should check the extra admission requirements that apply to them. Applicants are expected to satisfy the university's graduate admission standards in addition to any requirements set by the department. The catalog sets out the degree requirements, relevant academic policies and contacts, and prospective students are encouraged to review them and to speak with the program before applying.
