Course Duration: 2 years
Course Period : September 2006 - July 2008
Tuition Fee : € 13,820 (composite fee) + € 1,815 (research fee)
Location: Wageningen, Netherlands
As a rapidly growing discipline, Geo-information Science combines expertise from the fields of:
information and communication technology (ICT);
geographical Information Systems (GIS), remote
sensing, photogrammetry, GPS and mapping;
environmental and social sciences such as land
use planning, geography, soil science and communication.
The Geo-information Science programme focuses on solving spatial problems
(both rural and in the urban fringe) by using GIS and remote sensing. Students
are taught methods and techniques in GIS, remote sensing and photogrammetry, and
geo-information processes such as data capture, data analysis and data
presentation. They are trained to recognise, describe and analyse problems in
relevant environmental application fields; this includes training in the
development of prototypes. They also learn about the technical and
organisational role of geo-information in institutes and companies, how to
communicate adequately and keep abreast of scientific and technical developments
in geo-information and how to apply these developments in specific fields.
Students deal with the latest scientific, technical and organisational aspects
such as spatial data infrastructure, spatial modelling, remote sensing and
visualisation.
Graduates of the Geo-information Science programme have scientific
competencies that enable them to:
formulate, coordinate and lead applied research
GI projects, including adequate communication skills;
formulate, conduct and communicate fundamental
research in geo-information science;
select and use GI software to process geo-data
sets and develop prototypes;
transfer knowledge about the geo-information
domain;
act as a consultant for GI users in an
organisation and advise the management of an organisation about the adequacy
of existing GI facilities and their use.
Admission Requirements:
BSc in information and communication technology (ICT), land use
planning, land and water management, forestry, geography, soil science, or
other related environmental and social sciences, (have
background in the spatial, environmental, and social sciences,
or geo-informatics).
