An understanding of potential applications of geographic information systems (GIS) is all that is required as students take a core module in their first term covering fundamentals, such as cartographic principles, web maps, responsible mapping, data file management and introduction to coding.

Having no background in Geography prior to my admission, the course content, coupled with the knowledgeable and enthusiastic faculty, provided a well-staged delivery of topics to ensure the building of foundation concepts throughout. This allowed me to easily grasp more complex topics along the way, aided by exceptional academic and pastoral support.
Having attended the course as a mature student on a scholarship from the Royal Air Force, I have since been able to apply this knowledge and skillset to a number of interesting projects. One of these is the development of a federated digital twin environment that provides exact digital replicas of MOD sites, enable more efficient, sustainable use of site assets and enhancing the pace and potency of top-level decision-making processes.
