Graduate Diploma in Geospatial Intelligence

Curtin University

This course provides the tools for managing spatial data and remotely sensed imagery to extract further meaning.The course ensures you gain a well-rounded exposure to key areas. Along with units on geographic information systems and remote sensing, you'll study map design, web mapping, data management, programming, photogrammetry and visualisation. The graduate diploma is nested with other courses in geospatial intelligence. Graduates may continue on to study the master course. This course provides the tools for managing spatial data and remotely sensed imagery to analyse and begin to extract further meaning (intelligence). Along with two units on GIS and remote sensing, it is packaged with map design, web mapping and visualisation, data management, programming, and drone mapping and applications, ensuring a well-rounded exposure to key areas. Case studies focus on location-based issues embedded in a range of different disciplines, including biodiversity, agriculture, urban planning, mining, defence, and emergency services. It assumes little to no prior knowledge in the field and is suitable for ''up-skillers'' who are seeking methods to extract additional meaning from location-based events, career changers and anyone who works in industries that collect geolocated information looking to make the next step. This course is available on-campus and by distance education (via online learning) to Australian and International students.
