Registration

Tilmelding sker via STADS-Selvbetjening indenfor annonceret tilmeldingsperiode, som du kan se på Studieadministrationens hjemmeside

Når du tilmelder dig kurset, skal du være opmærksom på, om der er sammenfald i tidspunktet for kursusafholdelse og eksamen med andre kurser, du har valgt. Uddannelsesplanlægningen tager udgangspunkt i, at det er muligt at gennemføre et anbefalet studieforløb uden overlap. Men omkring valgfrie elementer og studieplaner som går ud over de anbefalede studieforløb, kan der forekomme overlap, alt efter hvilke kurser du vælger.

Registration through STADS-Selvbetjeningwithin the announced registration period, as you can see on the Studyadministration homepage.

When registering for courses, please be aware of the potential conflicts between courses or exam dates on courses. The planning of course activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose.

Learning outcomes and assessment criteria
  • Knowledge:

  • Knowledge of principles behind visualization of spatial data

  • Knowledge of basic spatial operations

  • Knowledge of principles for representation of spatial information

  • Knowledge of management-relevant data sets and their limitations

  • Skills:

  • Apply the knowledge of principles for spatial data visualization to produce relevant visualizations.

  • Apply the knowledge of basic spatial operations to plan and perform spatial analysis.

  • Apply the knowledge of management-relevant data sets and principles of spatial data representation to determine the necessity of preforming an independent data collection and the principles hereof.

  • Deconstruct solutions to spatial problems into relevant spatial operations

  • Apply and pass on acquired knowledge aimed at developing future work life

  • Competences:

  • The competence to act as the primarily responsible for the use of spatial analysis tools including GIS in both study and work contexts

  • The competence to concretize and translate non-expertly expressed wishes for spatial analysis into feasible spatial operations.

  • Make a critical assessment of the use of spatial technologies in relation to given issues

Overall content

The course aims to give the students the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to be the primary responsible for collecting, analysing and disseminating spatial data in both study and work contexts. This includes the ability to translate for instance policy formulated visions to concrete operations. It is also envisaged that the student should be able to reflect critically to the use of spatial data analysis and their relevance to specific issues.

Prerequisites for participation in the exam

The students must participate in 2 of 3 rounds of pergrading of exercises.

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of a series of lectures with associated lab sessions. It is expected that the students participate in the lab sessions
