B.Sc. (Hons) in Geoinformatics

Geoinformatics is a science and technology which develops and uses information science infrastructure to address the problems of the Earth Systems and related branches of engineering, ICT and other inter-related field of studies. Geoinformatics is a multitude of disciplines, namely, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, global navigation satellite systems/global positioning systems (GNSS/GPS), and internet/web programming.

Why GIS

As an emerging field, demand for personnel qualified in Geoinformatics is enormous. Students who graduate with a FutureU GIS degree have career opportunities in development sectors with government and private organizations, with consultancy firms, starting a small enterprise, doing further research or training and teaching others. Our mission is to produce market-ready graduates in the field of Geoinformatics , ready to work for sustainable development and with the skills to be effective.

Course Duration

The B.S. GIS is a 10-semester degree course which integrates the ICT-based, state-of-the-art principles of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, GNSS/GPS, web/internet mapping techniques and its wide, realworld applications to Earth systems, environmental, natural resources, and socio-economic developments in industrial and developing regions. Such BSGIS course consists of well-balanced lecture, practical, tutorial computer and field hands-on of geoinformatics software and hardware to increase technical knowledge and geospatial thinking.
