Developed in partnership with the National University of Singapore (NUS), this course is taught by distinguished faculty members from the NUS Department of Geography, ranked 6th globally and 1st in Asia in the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

This comprehensive learning journey develops essential Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities, starting with fundamental concepts and technical foundations before progressing to hands-on experience with the complete data project lifecycle. Participants will learn to handle geospatial data through every stage - from collection and processing to analysis and visualization - while gaining practical exposure to real-world GIS applications across policy-making, operations, and service delivery contexts. The experience culminates in a self-directed project where participants can apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills to solve actual problems, enabling them to bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation.
