Entry Requirements
This programme is designed as a conversion course to meet the demands of students who graduate with a Built Environment or Engineering Level 8 degree who see their future in a Geospatial role within the Architecture, Construction and Engineering sector. The course will also consider applicants from Geography, Geology, Environmental Sciences or Computer Science degrees that meet the entry requirements.
To be admitted to this course, students should have a minimum of a 2.2 in an honours bachelor degree in a Construction, Engineering, Architectural or Geomatics discipline (Level 8 NQAI) or equivalent. Applications from candidates who have an equivalent qualification at honours level (for example, a professional qualification) will also be considered. Prior work or industrial experience is not a pre-requisite for entry onto the course.
Applications may be considered from candidates who do not have the minimum academic requirements set out above but who do have significant relevant industry experience. In this situation, candidates will be interviewed, and Recognition of Prior Learning will be applied.

The Student
Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.
Realist
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
