Entry requirements

To obtain a place on the Diploma/MSc in GIS you need:

These may include attendance at appropriate courses or recommended reading.

The course is taught and assessed in English, so if English is not your first language you may be required to show evidence of proficiency in English. (IELTS at 6.5, TOEFL at 575 and Computer based TOEFL at 230)
