Introduction to QGIS 2016

3rd October 2016 - 4th October 2016

This 1.5 day course provides an introduction to QGIS, an open source Geographic Information System software package. You will be introduced to the various components of the software and learn how to work with both vector and raster data layers. You will learn how to run simple geospatial analyses, how to edit existing maps and how to create maps using your own data, which we encourage you to bring with you to the course.

Later in October we will also be running the following course:

Spatial methods for public health researchers

20th October 2016

This course offers an introduction to spatial analytics in a public health context. The course will begin with an overview of different spatial units and how they fit together. Public health examples will be used to illustrate the relevance of using each of these units. We will work through examples of how spatial units can be added into existing datasets. In the afternoon we will generate your first map using public health data.

We will be running further GIS, R and Visualisation courses later this year, please email to express an interest. Please get in touch if you have any queries – [log in to unmask]
