Bachelor of Sustainable Environments
(Geospatial Information
Systems)
Can 'YOU' make a difference and create a better Earth?
How do we use spatial information to solve environmental problems? If you want to learn about Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to enable better environmental management and protection practises, then this degree is for you!
 |
This program will provide you with an understanding of environmental
management and protection practices as well as an understanding of
spatial analysis and practice that is required to become a competent
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) professional.
You will gain a practical knowledge of the appropriate tools and
techniques used to develop GIS applications and demonstrate an
understanding of their benefits and limitations in the pursuit of
solutions to complex problems. Students will also study the
theoretical and cultural limitations of incorporating GIS into the
workplace.
The program has a strong practical and industry focus and students
have the opportunity to study overseas. TAFE Certificate IV, Diploma
or Advanced Diploma holders will be granted some credit towards this
program.
Although there are no formal Year 12 prerequisite subjects, and none of the first year courses assume prior knowledge, you will need to possess a real interest or passion in geography, environmental issues and the potential use of computers to assist in problem solving. Bringing about real change in the way society interacts with the environment requires not only knowledge, but the ability to encourage community participation and coordinate community activities.
