The Bachelor of Science in Geoinformatics (Extended Programme) at the University of Pretoria is a four-year degree that includes a foundation year providing academic support before students join the mainstream three-year Geoinformatics programme. The extended programme builds the mathematical, spatial science, and academic literacy foundations needed to succeed in geoinformatics study. Career outcomes match the standard BSc Geoinformatics programme, covering GIS analysis, remote sensing, spatial data management, and environmental mapping roles across South Africa's government, environmental, and private sectors. The extended programme broadens access to this technically demanding spatial sciences discipline.
