It is great to be able to announce that the Maynooth University Department of Geography MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing is now formally accredited by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). We had the event yesterday in Rocque lab and even the beautiful old maps by the entrance got an airing. That pic is taken beside the Manor of Maynooth survey by John Rocque in 1750 approx.
Accreditation opens alot of doors to students who go on to pursue it upon graduation and it have even backdated eligibility for the last three years of the MSc graduates so hopefully they will start down that route too. As for me my original motive was to get more juicy brains for the RS and EO working group but now I am back here teaching that changes my outlook somewhat!
Thanks to Colin Bray (CEO OSi and immediate past president of the SCSI) and Prof Maria Pramaggiore (Dean Graduate Studies) for coming along to speak at the event. A special thanks to James Lonergan from the SCSI for all his help in getting this over the line - his input really made a difference and delighted that he is in SCSI HQ helping us with going forward.
Out-suited again, I never seem to get that one right.
