📖Introduction
Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) is Ireland's largest and most comprehensive higher education institution. Formed by the merger of three renowned institutes of technology, TU Dublin offers a wide range of programs in various disciplines including engineering, science, business, arts, humanities, and more.

The university prides itself on delivering education that is practice-based, industry-relevant, and globally connected, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.
Geographic information Systems are widely-used indispensable tools for governance, commerce, and environmental and social science in Ireland and world-wide. Over the next few years it is forecast that the area of GIS will grow rapidly. This will lead to the need for highly qualified professionals in all areas of the geospatial industry. The MSc programme in Geographic Information Science presents an opportunity to develop and build on your previous learning and to deepen your understanding and knowledge of essential principles, practices and applications of geospatial technologies.
Competency in information technology skills has consistently been identified as a critical need in the geospatial industry and in the wider workplace in Ireland. This course has been designed specifically to address these issues and will provide graduates with a thorough grounding in information technology including spatial databases and web technology as well as programming skills tailored to the particular requirements of geospatial data.
This is a conversion course to enable graduates of a related discipline or current practitioners in the geospatial or related industry to acquire a qualification in Geographic Information Science at Masters Level. The course is delivered within Spatial Information Sciences in the School of Surveying and Construction Management in TU Dublin Bolton Street. A maximum intake of 20 students is planned from different disciplines and backgrounds.
