This component will be taught in part by an external CAA accredited training provider and students will graduate with the additional CAA drone/UAV remote pilot competency accreditation: General Visual line of sight Certificate (GVC). Building on these skills, students will learn the complete workflow required to capture and analyse remote sensing data from a drone platform, with a focus on environmental needs. This will include the knowledge and understanding for high quality image capture, flight design and planning, data collection and image processing. **Why Environmental Drone Remote Sensing at Swansea?** Top 100 in the World (Shanghai Ranking Subject Rankings 2024) Top 201-250 in the World for Environmental Sciences (QS World University Rankings 2025) 90% of our research outputs have been recognised as world-leading and internationally excellent - Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 100% of the environment was rated as world-leading and internationally excellent - Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021..
Earth Observation
Master's (1 year) at Swansea University
**Start date: MSc by Research - 1st October, 1st January, 1st April & 1st July.** The MSc by Research in Earth Observation allows you to undertake a year-long individual programme of personally and professionally enriching research. While this research programme usually finishes after a year, it can be used to progress to the second year of a PhD degree in the appropriate circumstances. Your earth observation research project will be shaped by participation in activities such as seminars, workshops, laboratory activity and fieldwork, as well as your involvement in our established GEMEO research group. In the latest Research Assessment Exercise, 95% of Geography research at Swansea was judged to be of international quality, and 60% was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. **Visit our website for more information on fees, scholarships, postgraduate loans and other funding options to study at Swansea University.**..
MSc Artificial Intelligence for Geospatial Data Analysis
Master's (1 year) at University of Hull
Geospatial analysis is being radically changed by embedding data science and data analytics into the discipline. Rather than a human being looking at data and images of the Earth, artificial intelligence is being increasingly deployed to automate tasks that humans cannot otherwise accomplish in any reasonable amount of time. Nationally, there is a widely recognised shortage of qualified Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data scientists to meet the needs of industry. This course will equip you with the skills and professional insight needed to launch a career in this fast-growing sector. As a conversion degree, you do not need a science background. And the knowledge you gain will help you build a portfolio that will launch you into the field of data science, acquiring highly sought after skills that will greatly enhance your career pathway. The programme will cover topics such as, programming, statistics, machine learning, data visualisation and computer vision and the ethical and legal responsibilities of using data. This geospatial data analysis variant will include bespoke modules covering the fundamentals of geo-information science and earth observation, and spatio-temporal big data analytics. In the third semester, you will have the opportunity to choose or design their own research project in a disciplinary area which may relate to their background or career goals. Alternatively, there may also be opportunity to undertake a project working with an industry partner...
Remote Sensing and Environmental Mapping
Master's (1 year) at University College London (UCL)
This degree is the leading Master's programme in remote sensing and environmental mapping in the UK. It offers the opportunity to study at an advanced level the ways in which remote sensing from ground-based to spaceborne platforms may be used to collect environmental information about the terrestrial biosphere, atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere at a range of scales and across wavelengths...
