About Spatial information

Everything that happens, happens somewhere. How does your uber know where to drop you off? How do we know that a building can withstand a changing climate? How can we get supplies to people during natural disaster or keep track of a bushfire? Using spatial data, we can monitor the world around us to design sustainable buildings, smart cities and use autonomous vehicles to work more efficiently.

Studying digital infrastructure engineering teaches you spatial information skills in mapping and visualisation, geographic information systems (GIS) used for programs like Google Maps and satellite image processing.

Our digital infrastructure engineering programs are designed with industry leaders so you’re studying the skills that employers are looking for and will be guided leading academics who are researching disaster management, smart cities and mobility, land management and surveying.

As part of the my degree, I was able to complete a placement on a neuropsycho-oncology research study at MCRI, which allowed me to see what it would be like to be a neuropsychologist in that field.
