Course Details
Objectives: The master's degree in Remote Sensing and GIS consists of 60 ECTS credits to be completed in one academic year. The master's degree offers a mixed profile and is addressed to both students who wish to continue onto a research career through PhD programmes and those who are interested in training of a more professional nature.
The master's degree is structured into 7 modules, of which 4 are compulsory (one worth 15 ECTS, 2 worth 6 credits and one worth 9 ECTS), 2 optional (worth 9 ECTS each) and one corresponding to the Master Thesis (15 ECTS).
The compulsory modules focus closely on the following areas:
(a.) Geographical Information Sciences: Remote Sensing and GIS
(b.) Remote Sensing Image Processing.
(c) Spatial Analysis
(d) Geographic Information Obtention Methods
The optional modules aim to offer additional advanced training in the areas of Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing, as well as offer students the possibility to familiarise themselves with applications in spatial analysis and remote observation techniques.
Intended for: Students interested in the principles and applications of Remote Sensing and GIS fields
Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)
Prerequisites: University degree
Admission requirements: Graduates with honor's and general degrees.
Duration and terms: 1 Year
Notes: The Scientific Director and an important part of the faculty members are part of the Copernicus Academy international network.
