Geographical Information Systems BSc(Hons): Facilities

Kingston University is fully equipped with the latest software and hardware. You will be taught in state-of-the-art GIS laboratories and have access to a range of industry-standard software including ArcGIS, Imagine, MapInfo and Leica Photogrammetry Suite.

We have also recently acquired new mobile mapping computers, a high definition laser scanner and RTK-GPS to add to these facilities. Our ongoing data agreements with major suppliers give you access to a wide range of data for study. Additionally, by special agreement, we are able to offer students the opportunity of installing many of the major software packages on their personal computers enabling study at home as well as in the University's facilities.

This course has a long tradition at the University, meaning the library is extremely well stocked, along with a large collection of online journals. You will also have the opportunity of joining national and international GI-related organisations at reduced costs.

We are also proud to be the first ESRI Development Centre outside North America.
