Combine satellite data, technology and science to find new solutions to the world's biggest challenges.
The MSc Earth Observation and Geoinformation Management aims to provide you with the theoretical and practical skills to use and analyse Earth observation data in conjunction with broader skills in handling geospatial data.
This unique programme is well-embedded in an active research and industry environment. It works alongside our successful MSc Geographical Information Science degree, which was the first of its type in the world with a heritage of over 30 years.
What is Earth Observation and Geoinformation Management?
Earth observation (EO) involves gathering information about the Earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems using remote sensing technologies such as satellites.
Earth observation is growing in social, economic and political importance by helping us better understand and manage Earth and its environment in areas such as: Agriculture; infrastructure and transportation; mineral resource management; land use and planning.
Career opportunities
Specialised expertise in the use of remotely sensed data as part of larger geospatial data management is increasingly sought in graduates.
