BS Remote Sensing and GIS

BS Remote Sensing and GIS is a four-year undergraduate degree in geospatial technology — capturing, analysing and interpreting spatial data from satellites, aerial imagery and ground sources.

What You’ll Study

Coursework covers principles of remote sensing, digital image processing, geographic information systems, spatial analysis and modelling, cartography and geovisualisation, GPS and surveying, programming for geospatial applications, and applications in environment, agriculture and urban studies.

Career Scope in Pakistan

This is an unusually applied degree with demand across sectors that rarely compete for the same graduates. Applications include urban planning and land use monitoring, agricultural monitoring and crop assessment, disaster management and flood mapping — directly relevant given Pakistan’s flood exposure — forestry and environmental monitoring, utilities and infrastructure asset mapping, and mineral and groundwater exploration.

Graduates work with development authorities and planning organisations, disaster management authorities, agricultural research and monitoring, environmental consultancies, utilities, survey organisations, and donor-funded programmes. Programming capability alongside the geospatial tooling meaningfully widens the range of work available.
