The advance of digital technologies provides the instruments for observing and gaining insights into our environment. Those at the forefront of creating our connected environments are increasingly looking for solutions combining expertise in multiple business areas such as physical infrastructure, digital technology, spatial design, commercial business services and social service provision. This programme focuses on the research challenges that relate to the infrastructure required to instrument our built and natural environments. It builds on the need for a skill set in programming, data capture and visualization, and prototyping with stakeholders to support the analysis of complex systems.
Careers

Employability
This programme takes a holistic view toward developing the skills sets digital practitioners require. You will learn how to deliver end to end solutions from prototyping in hardware and software, to maintaining live sensor installations for the duration of the course. The technical activity is equally balanced with an understanding of the socio / economic factors such as stakeholder engagement and business model development for connected environment infrastructure.
