| Purpose: The module aims to instill students with the required theoretical base and skills to apply spatial analysis functions, georeferencing systems and data considerations in an efficient way to support real-world spatial problem-solving and decision making in various geographical contexts. In order to achieve this, the module engages students in the theory and practice of spatial thinking, advanced spatial analysis methods in raster and vector environments, as well as map design principles. Students are required to have a computer to do this module. The minimum requirements of the computer (desktop or laptop) are as follows: 4GB RAM, 2.4 GHz processor, at least 8GB available internal storage, 32-bit operating system (preferably, 64-bit).
