The Post Graduate Diploma in Geoinformatics is a one-year postgraduate diploma programme that focuses on the study and application of geospatial technologies for mapping, analysis, and decision-making. The course aims to equip students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to address real-world challenges in environmental management, urban planning, and resource monitoring.
The programme covers subjects such as principles of remote sensing, digital image processing, cartography, GIS applications, spatial data analysis, GPS surveying, and geostatistics. Students gain hands-on training through laboratory work, field studies, and project-based learning using advanced geospatial software and tools.
Career opportunities for graduates of the Post Graduate Diploma in Geoinformatics include roles as GIS analysts, remote sensing specialists, geospatial data scientists, mapping consultants, and research associates in government departments, research organizations, environmental consultancies, urban development agencies, and private industries. Graduates are equipped to contribute to data-driven planning, resource management, and sustainable development using cutting-edge geospatial technologies.
