Master of Science [M.S] [Geographic Information Systems] From The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Designed for professionals in geographic information systems (GIS), surveying or related fields, this programme equips students with the theoretical understanding and practical skills that are required to specialise in GIS or land and engineering surveying.

Students must complete 7 subjects,?including at least 4 Core Subjects, and a Dissertation that is pertinent to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or Surveying. The Dissertation is optional. Alternatively, students can choose a Geomatics Project and one more Core Subject, in either GIS or Surveying, depending on their stream.

The MSc in Geomatics provides a great platform for obtaining both theoretical knowledge and practical opportunities. The outstanding teachers and well-organized courses guide students to establish good study and research habits, together with a deep understanding of cutting-edge technology for land surveying and geo-informatics, especially the newly developed techniques applied in Hong Kong. The dissertation also offers a valuable opportunity for students to conduct individual research on a particular subject under the guidance of teachers.
