Geo-Information Master programme at Wageningen UniversityThe increasing demand for digital geographical information has resulted in a huge growth in the discipline of Geo-information Science. The demand for geo-information is the result of an increase in environmental problems and the need to manage the natural and the social environment. Would you like to use geo-information in finding solutions for global problems like flooding, planning, or the migration of wild animals? Then the two-year Master programme Geo-information Science at Wageningen University is something for you. It offers a unique blend of geo-information science methods, technologies and applications. The combined use of earth observation techniques (Remote Sensing) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for problem solving within the environmental disciplines is an asset to this programme.
Geo-Information Science study outlineThe Master Geo-Information Science programme consists of courses, an internship and a research thesis. As a rapidly growing discipline, Geo-information Science combines expertise from the fields of ICT, geographic information (geo-informatics, geomatics, GIS), remote sensing, photogrammetry, GPS and mapping. And also elements from environmental and social sciences like planning, geography, soil science and communication. You will learn the scientific, technical and organisational aspects of geo-data, remote sensing and geo-information systems and how to use these in an international, scientific and inspiring work environment.
Your future career as a Geo-information ScientistA Wageningen University Geo-Information Science survey of all Master Geo-Information Science graduates who received their degree since 2003, illustrates how graduates enjoy a diversified future career. Graduates often work in research or consultancy, but also in education. They easily find jobs at universities in the Netherlands and abroad, as a researcher or research assistant in research institutes or as a specialist in either GIS or RS working for consultancy agencies.
