2.5-Term Pathway - Pre-Master's for Science and Engineering - Continue to Master of Science - Geographic Data Science

This University of Liverpool programme aims to develop a high level understanding of quantitative and computational geographical methods. This includes skills in GIS software and statistical programming languages, such as R or Python. Within an applied setting, emphasis is placed on developing skills in the visualization, modelling and statistical analysis of conventional and novel sources of data, ranging from censuses and social surveys through to satellite imagery and social media using both web-based and traditional techniques.

The growing volumes of big data about the form, function and dynamics of human activities and their contexts are providing new opportunities to advance debates within a framework of Geographic Data Science.
