    Msc Geocomputation
    Hey guys,

    Any one studying or has studied the Msc in Geocomp? I have a single hons degree in geography and am looking at applying for the course. Will my lack of a programming background be detrimental?

    Also is the coure good for obtaining employment? I am also looking at the msc for GIs and remote sensing, however I feel that doing stricly GIS would be better as the careers are more available in this area and I didnt do remote sensing in my undergraduate.

    Thanks

    Short answer - Don't worry about having no programming, you can enter with a basic Geog degree. However, if you are interested in GIS I'd look elsewhere as the course material is outdated, the staff don't see to be overly interested and the computers barely run the programs. Only perk is that they've done it so long they do get temporary contracts send to them for interns from companies. Oh, and the remote sensing is taught from scratch.

    Hi maldesu, I assume you are speaking about the MSC in gis and remote sensing? Is it a poor course over all? Did you study it already?

    Yeah, the MSC. Generally its poor. I think they are just recycling the materials they've used for the last 10 years, which is why I'd suggest elsewhere for GIS as both UCC and DIT are more recent to the field and are probably up to date on various processes. Certainly make contact with them.
    And yeah, I've studied it
