Geospatial Engineering & Data Management

The MSc in Geospatial Engineering and Data Management is a two-year part-time conversion programme for construction professionals, with options for exiting with Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma awards after 1 and 2 years, respectively. The programmes primary goal is to develop highly educated, technically proficient, and market-ready graduates who can significantly contribute to the rapidly evolving field of geospatial engineering. The Geospatial Engineering and Data Management coursework aligns with advancements in measurement science technologies and includes modules on point cloud data acquisition, manipulation, modelling and data management. This solid foundation is vital for students aiming to excel in geospatial careers. This programme is designed as a conversion course open to graduates within the Built Environment, Engineering, Geography, Environment or Computer Sciences Sectors. Graduates of related discipline areas with appropriate experience are encouraged to apply. Year 1 of the course will focus on providing students with the essential skills and knowledge regarding geospatial engineering principles alongside practical experience with industry-standard tools and technologies. Year 2 will focus on the data management methodologies that can best utilise big data analytics to handle massive datasets, enabling real-time monitoring and dynamic Modeling of situational factors like population movement, traffic patterns, and environmental changes. In Year 2 of the course, students will also undertake an individual Capstone Experience project where the skills developed over the 2 years of their studies are utilised to solve active industry problems and challenges. Professional Accreditation This programme is accredited by the SCSI (Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland) in line with their requirements for Chartered Engineering Surveyor. The course is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Civil Engineering Surveyors. Accreditation with both professional bodies in Ireland means the programme has achieved the regulated high professional standard and competencies in all required areas. IT Requirements Students will have access to a range of modern surveying equipment and processing software.
