Applied Geographical Information Systems. University of the West of England

Geographic Information systems (GIS) are increasingly pervasive, and there is a wide range of disciplines and professions that are becoming, or have become 'spatially aware'. As the number of disciplines across all sectors that are spatially aware increases so too does the expectation of employers that their staff will be able to use geographic information effectively and sensibly. This multidisciplinary, or transdisciplinary, nature of GIS means that people of many backgrounds, disciplines and educational levels are interested in developing GIS skills.
