Spatial Systems is the study of the science and technology of 3D measurement, mapping and visualisation, also known as geomatics. It is concerned with capturing, analysing, managing and presenting spatial information.
Course Plans
The Spatial Systems Handbook entry stipulates the complete requirements for the Geomatics major.
Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
