Geospatial analysts can use spatial data to determine important health demographics such as disease causation and spread prevention, disaster risk factors, genetic disease likelihood, physical and mental behavioural trends, and economic effect. If you are interested in a short professional course, please see GIS for Mapping provided by the GeoHealth Laboratory through UC Online using QGIS software.
Other recommended courses include postgraduate (400-level) courses in Geographic Information Science, normally coded GISC found within the Master of Geospatial Data Science. At undergraduate, you may be interested in
Health, Well-Being and Environment (GEOG325) and Introduction to Geographic Information Systems and Science (GEOG205).
Geospatial Analysis in the Social and Environmental Sciences (GEOG323) or Web GIS and Geoinformatics (GEOG324) may also be of interest.
Well-Being, Community and Place (GEOG401).
