ABOUT THE COURSE

Overview

Geospatial mapping and science specialists interpret and analyse geospatial data (data relating to geographic position on the earth's surface) and use leading-edge digital technology such as laser scanning, Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing and imagery. They provide data analysis and advice for mapping, satellite navigation systems (Satnavs), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), infrastructure, the identification of local, suburban or international boundaries, military, mining and a wide range of other purposes.

Specific duties of the role are to interpret, manipulate and analyse geospatial information, data and measurement using a wide range of innovative technologies, and to provide strategic advice and recommendations based on this analysis. Geospatial mapping and science specialists can work in either the public or private sector and employers include consultants, contractors, rail operators, government, the military, mapping companies, suppliers of computer-based mapping technology, Geographic Information Systems and Building Information Modelling, utilities companies and a range of others.

DELIVERY

This five year scheme (last six months to complete the end point assessment) is a day release method of delivery on our Docklands campus. The overall time can be shortened depending on the entry qualifications the candidate possesses.

Entry requirements: Potential apprentices will need to be employed in the field of study (see occupational profile), be over 18 and hold 96 UCAS points to join. In addition, individual employers will also set their entry criteria.

Fees per apprentice for whole duration (paid on a monthly basis and is an estimate):

Levy employer: £27,000 - an estimated £562 per month from company levy.

Non-levy employer: please email degreeapprenticeships@uel.ac.uk or call 020 8223 2337 for more information. The apprentice will not be required to pay any fees.

Progression: on completion, full-time employment and additional CPD as required. Successful apprentices will gain a BSc (Hons) Surveying and Mapping Sciences, accredited by the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors. The apprenticeship will provide the knowledge, skills and behaviours to apply to become Members of the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors.
