Description
The 2-year master’s programme in Geoinformatics for Urbanised Society prepares highly qualified specialists in handling and analysing spatial data for a better understanding of the global environmental and urban processes, and developing decision support systems for public, private, and non-governmental sector.
In the global information society, governance increasingly relies on sensors, BIG data, analysis, and fast decision-making. The society needs experts who can handle the tools of geoinformatics for understanding and finding solutions to complex environmental and urban challenges related to climate and environmental change, growing social inequality and increased spatial mobility. The master’s programme focuses on building interdisciplinary competence by combining geography and IT. Special emphasis is put on problem-driven approach and development of practical skills of students.
