List of Disciplines

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a data collection, administration, and analysis system. GIS uses maps and 3D sceneries to assess spatial locations and construct layers of visual information to give detailed insights into data such as configurations, linkages, and circumstances, allowing users to make better decisions.

GIS can compare a wide range of data types. Individual information, such as population, income, or level of education, can be included in the system, as can landscape information, such as the position of streams, various types of flora, and varied soil types, among other things. GIS courses will offer students the skills they will need to successfully use GIS software in a professional context. They will learn how to analyse spatial data, map their findings using cartography techniques, and collaborate with peers in GIS and related subjects. Furthermore, by combining data identification and gathering, analytical map building, and spatial analysis methodologies, students will be able to create a professional-quality GIS portfolio.
