Graduate Certificate in Applied GIS
NUS has adopted three new academic terminologies since 1 August 2023:
“Module” has been renamed “Course”, “Modular Credit (MC)” has been renamed “Unit”, and “Cumulative Average Point (CAP)” has been renamed “Grade Point Average (GPA)”. The definitions of a Module/Course and MC/Unit remain the same, and there has been no change to the computation of the CAP/GPA.
Over the years, geospatial information and technology are increasingly recognized as an enabler for making decisions, optimizing processes, and generating services for customers, translating to a strong demand for GIS professionals.
The Department of Geography has put together the Graduate Certificate in Applied GIS programme, which seeks to promote continuing education and lifelong learning in the field of GIS and its versatile interdisciplinary applications. The programme is suitable to applicants who already have a Bachelor’s degree, which can be undertaken full-time and part-time. Such an arrangement enables qualified candidates from various walks of life to enrol in the programme and gain targeted training in the use and application of GIS, which is becoming a wide-spread analytical tool across the private and public sectors. It is proposed that full-time candidates can complete the courses in at least one semester. Part-time students can arrange to pursue graduate study while remaining employed in their professions.
