This MSc programme teaches the knowledge, skills and understanding to create and utilise high resolution remote sensing data for real world, practical applications, using sensors flown on drone platforms.

Students will gain the skills, experience and knowledge to operate a drone safely and within current Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations. This will comprise theoretical and practical flight training and assessment. This component will be taught in part by an external CAA accredited training provider and students will graduate with the additional CAA drone/UAV remote pilot competency accreditation: General Visual line of sight Certificate (GVC).

Building on these skills, students will learn the complete workflow required to capture and analyse remote sensing data from a drone platform, with a focus on environmental needs. This will include the knowledge and understanding for high quality image capture, flight design and planning, data collection and image processing.

YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL DRONE REMOTE SENSING EXPERIENCE

Our Global Environmental Modelling and Earth Observation (GEMEO) Research Group welcomes students to come and study with us. We have a strong interest in the data-collection potential of drones, which complements our long-standing expertise in airborne and satellite remote sensing. The MSc Environmental Drone Remote Sensing programme will teach the knowledge, skills, and understanding to create and utilise high-resolution remote-sensing data for real world, practical applications, using sensors flown on drone platforms, and students will also graduate with the Civil Aviation Authority鈥檚 (CAA) drone/UAV remote-pilot competency accreditation: the General Visual line of sight Certificate (GVC).
