Master of Science in Geomatics

I studied a Masters of Geomatics in the LSGI department from 2019 to 2021, before beginning my research career. Through the MSc programme, I took a wide range of subjects, covering urban geo-informatics, smart cities, 3D spatial photogrammetry, spatial big data analytics, global positioning and navigating, planetary mapping, and remote sensing for environmental studies.

As a graduate student and PolyU alumnus, I appreciate the opportunities that studying at LSGI provided me, and I encourage students to join the department. I really enjoyed learning from knowledgeable professors with international experience, all of whom encouraged me to explore geomatics and extend the scope of my research. In addition, LSGI’s well-equipped laboratories and advanced equipment were an important support for my research.

The Master of Science in Geomatics is a comprehensive programme that combines a broad range of theory, skill, and practice. Geomatics involves using techniques such as geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing to conduct spatial data analyses and aid decision-making. Students in the MSc program in Geomatics also study computer and mathematics courses to help them better understand GIS. The course also offers a wide range of options for career development as geomatics is also related to many different disciplines and applications, including smart cities and cartography.

I undertook a Master of Science in Geomatics from 2020 to 2022. During my studies, I was taught by professional and enthusiastic teachers, who were happy to help whenever I experienced academic problems. They provided me with effective suggestions and encouragement, as well as guidance on future development directions. I also met many friendly classmates during my course. I highly recommend the MSc in Geomatics to those interested in learning about this topic and pursuing a related profession.
