MSc Computational Geoscience (Universitas Gadjah Mada dual degree) at University of Glasgow

This dual masters degree with Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Indonesia leads to both a University of Glasgow degree and a UGM degree. Students complete year one of the UGM MEng in Geomatic Engineering and then progress to the Glasgow MSc in Computational Geoscience, which develops applied data science and modelling skills for geoscience.

Faculty: College of Science and Engineering  |  Duration: Glasgow: 12 months full-time (preceded by 9 months full-time at Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, for the MEng year)  |  Intake: September  |  Location: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

What you will study

Year one at UGM covers 24-32 Indonesian credits of the MEng in Geomatic Engineering. In Glasgow students take core courses including Introduction to Statistics for Environmental Analysis, Introduction to Earth Science, Principles of GIS, Spatial Data Analytics, Numerical Foundations of Geodynamics, Modelling Water Environments, Topographic Modelling and Landscape Monitoring, Machine Learning Applications for Earth Systems Problems, Modelling of Landscape Evolution and Numerical Modelling of Solid Earth Dynamics, then a research project jointly supervised by UGM and Glasgow, with a viva defence of the thesis with UGM.

Career pathways

Roles in the natural and built environment sector including Land Surveyor, Engineering Surveyor, Hydrographic/Offshore Surveyor, Geospatial Surveyor and Reality Capture Specialist; surveying graduates have joined companies such as Ordnance Survey, Jacobs, Fugro, AECOM and Subsea 7.
