MSc Geographic Information and Climate Change

MSc Geographic Information and Climate Change is a Masters program taught at University of Wales, Swansea, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The MSc Geographic Information and Climate Change at Swansea University provides cross-disciplinary training in the scientific principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite remote sensing and Earth system modelling, alongside key aspects of climate change science. You study GIS through modules including Geographical Information Systems and Satellite Remote Sensing, and you study climate change through Climate Change - Past, Present and Future and Environmental Modelling. You also complete a Dissertation Preparation Module.

Learning includes hands-on, experiential work from laboratory work and environmental modelling to immersive field courses. Computing facilities support Earth Observation and climate and glaciological modelling, including fifteen dual‑processor workstations, a 20‑node multiprocessor Beowulf cluster, and the Department’s IBM Blue Ice supercomputer. The programme is campus based, with full-time and part-time routes.

By the time you graduate, you will have hands-on experience working with GIS and remote sensing technologies and supported understanding of the scientific issues underpinning climate change. The page includes examples of graduate roles such as GIS Technician at Cyient and Graduate Statutory Orders Specialist.
