Are there specialist streams within the Chartered Geographer (GIS) scheme?
No. The feeling is that CGeog (GIS) should encapsulate all areas of geographic discipline. Exceptions have been made to include variations on the post-nominal for GI Scientists, Teachers, Geomorphologists and Economic Geographers as these are quite succinct. Within these though, there is no scope for streaming very particular specialisms – for example, remote sensing. Of course, if all your experience is in one very specific area that is not a problem but this cannot be reflected in your post-nominal. You can if you chose use either the post nominals CGeog or CGeog (GIS) but you must state on the application form if you wish to use CGeog (GIS) as this cannot be changed after approval.
