The course provides students with advanced knowledge of the theory and application of geospatial information systems (GIS) and Earth observation. The course provides a theoretical and practical framework for graduates from a range of backgrounds, as well as those from the public sector and non government organisations wishing to extend their choice of career path by acquiring knowledge and skills in the capture, analysis and communication of spatially referenced information.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
Postgraduate entry
Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Certificate in Geospatial Information Systems or the Graduate Diploma in Geospatial Information Systems must normally hold a degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution.
However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The Master of Geospatial Information Systems is not available to graduates of the Bachelor of Geospatial Information Systems or of equivalent undergraduate courses from other tertiary institutions.

If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result. Always confirm exclusions for professional registration courses and the offer conditions.
