Course Materials for Core Course

Some course organisers make use of WebCT for presenting their course materials, others prefer not to.

Optional Course Choice

The full list of courses provided by the University is at DRPS

Your optional courses may be chosen from those that belong to other M.Sc programmes in the School of GeoSciences. These include Courses in GIS

Your optional courses may also be chosen from some run by other schools. For courses run by the School of Informatics, see essential MSc Informatics information. You may want this direct link to the actual table of courses. Note that this table lists undergraduate courses too: M.Sc courses are the ones at level 11. Also note that the School of Informatics is in the town centre: you will need to allow travelling time when assessing if an informatics course will fit in with your timetable.
