By taking courses in computer science along with your core Geomatics and Geography courses, you will go beyond the level of a technician and become a project manager, someone who creates, directs, and analyzes geomatics projects.
You'll also be able to apply your knowledge in a variety of settings because you can specialize in a topic related to geomatics, such as physical geography/environmental studies, urban planning, resource management, community informatics, market analysis, or international development.
As a Geomatics student, you'll gain expertise in your core subjects and still have the flexibility to include additional areas of interest using your 12 elective courses.
| Subject | Number of courses taken |
| Geography and Geomatics | 18 |
| Computer Science | 8 |
| Environmental Studies | 2 |
| Elective courses which you can choose from across the University of Waterloo | 12 |
| Total | 40 |
See a list of courses that you'll take as a Geomatics student.
If you already have a university degree and are looking for a specialized Master's or PhD program in Geomatics, you can study Geomatics through graduate programs in Geography and Planning.
