The CatchIS team are looking to recruit an MSc by Research student for a studentship funded by the Environment Agency of England and Wales. The project is provisionally entitled “Evaluating predictions of pesticide transfers from land to surface waters in monitored catchments”. Further information on this post is available at http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/sas/postgraduatestudy/researchopportunities/page26234.jsp.

The CatchIS team present a new look for the project website. A more contemporary, standards-compliant format improves the experience users will have and hopefully make it now easier to learn more about CatchIS and its capabilities.

Cranfield University offer a well-respected MSc in Geographical Information Management (GIM) which can be taken full or part-time and which is designed very much with the practical environmental application of GIS technologies in mind. The course is taught by staff including the CatchIS development team.

The MSc is considered suitable for graduates wishing to specialise in or develop knowledge in the practical application of the geographical information technologies of remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), spatial data management and the global positioning system (GPS). The part-time option will allow practitioners to enhance their professional development within their current employment.

Duration

The Cranfield MSc programme commences in September. Typically the part-time programme is offered on a two-year basis on a "module on, module off" basis throughout. Each of the eight course modules lasts a fortnight, with opportunities for supporting home working.
