Swansea is one of very few universities offering these subject combinations. The campus and local countryside are ideal for the practical elements of the course. You need two A level passes and three are preferred. An A level in a mathematical subject is desirable though not essential, because topographic science is today more of an applied numerical subject than it used to be. The typical A level requirement is BCC or CCC, depending upon the Joint Honours combination.
Applications are welcome from mature students with relevant work experience.
Individual advice on your choice of Level 1 modules is available. In your second and third years you take modules in the field of geomatics, in addition to modules offered by the combined subject. In Level 2, modules cover cartography, mapping, geographical information systems, and environmental modelling. In Level 3, modules in geographical information systems and in remote sensing form the main component. In Level 3 there is an independent dissertation.
