Overview

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Information Systems lets you specialise partway through, usually between security, data and software engineering.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
