seems to be interesting enough, I know a good few lads doing it, would be mostly geography, computers and surveying.
It wouldn't be the worst choice and can lead onto many different areas post college.

I took a few modules with the Geomatics class last semester. Lots of maps/mapping, surveying, aerial/satellite imagery, remote sensing.

You might like to take a look at the Planning & Environmental Management programme. There's a certain amount of overlap between the two. http://dit.ie/study/undergraduate/programmes/planningenvironmentalmanagementdt106/
