With the rapid development of smart sensors, smartphones and social media, 'big' data is ubiquitous. This MSc teaches the foundations of GIScience, databases, spatial analysis, data mining and analytics to equip professionals with the tools and techniques to analyse, represent and model large and complex spatio-temporal datasets.

Students will be equipped with computational foundations and skills needed for big data analytics including visualisation, prediction, clustering and simulation with statistical and machine learning approaches, as well as retrieving and mining big (open) data, web services and cloud computing, web and mobile applications, all by practising with real case data and open software.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of five core modules (75 credits), three optional modules (45 credits) and a dissertation/report (60 credits).

A Postgraduate Diploma, consisting of five core modules (75 credits) and three optional modules (45 credits), taken full-time over nine months is also offered.

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Spatio-Temporal Analytics and Big Data Mining. Upon successful completion of 120 credits, you will be awarded a PG Dip in Spatio-Temporal Analytics and Big Data Mining.
