MSc Applied Geoinformatics
The discipline of Geoinformatics offers highly sought-after qualifications well founded in concepts and technologies of geospatial computing, tied into inter- and multidisciplinary application domains. The knowledge and skills acquired throughout the programme’s modules are based on the common grounding of spatial sciences and a ‘Digital Earth’ perspective, based on concepts typically acquired during undergraduate Geography, Surveying, Environmental Studies, Cartography or Planning programmes.
The Applied Geoinformatics MSc aims at the building of advanced competences in geospatial data acquisition and data management, data analytics and simulation as well as interactive communication. Graduates are expected to interface with different spatially oriented application domains, contribute to solving problems across societies, economies and environments as well as leading teams assigned pertinent tasks.
The Master’s programme in Applied Geoinformatics fosters international experience from students by aligning with the criteria for the upcoming European degree and European Label, in collaboration with other universities.
