Course Description

The student will select, undertake and complete a research-based diploma desktop project. In choosing and approving a suitable topic, consideration will be given to the student's background and skills, their career interests, suitable data availability, and the possibility of an external placement. Successful completion of the project requires reference to and integration of the various different taught elements, independent research, together with a general knowledge of all aspects of GIS and where appropriate different disciplines. The diploma project is undertaken by the student with the guidance of a supervisor from the University but does not require practical work with GIS.
