Study Geography Abroad

In many places of the world, we experience rapid environmental change. In the Master's Program, you get the knowledge and skills necessary for the understanding and analysis of polar and alpine landscapes.

In everyday life, we all use geoinformation systems in an unnoticed and self-evident way. Geoinformatics is essentially dealing with the management and processing of spatial data, but also includes map visualization, primary and secondary data collection procedures, and geographic analysis.

The Master's program in Geographic Information Systems started in 2009 and is accredited by ARACIS. It takes place within the Department of Geography, a department with national tradition in this field, where Geoinformatics and Geographic Information Systems have been taught since 1992 and 1995 respectively. This extremely attractive master's line is not only addressed to geography graduates, but also to all those who aspire to a career in the field of GIS, including people active in fields that use geographic information. The master's students have an exceptional endowment: modern computing laboratories and state-of-the-art software. Teaching staff and researchers from the Department of Geography and the Department of Informatics of UVT are active in this master's degree, to which are added external collaborators from the Center for Geoinformatics (Z_GIS) of the University of Salzburg, Ecole polytechnique fdrale de Lausanne (EPFL), University of Bucharest and ESRI Romania. The courses within the curriculum, comprehensive and balanced at the same time, can be grouped as follows: courses that offer basic and advanced, conceptual, theoretical and practical notions of GIS and remote sensing; courses in the field of informatics (programming and database management systems); courses aimed at the use of advanced geospatial methods and technologies, such as object-oriented image analysis (OBIA) and courses aimed at the application of GIS in different geographic areas and geovisualization of spatial data.

The Geography program is one of two programs housed in the Department of Earth Science and Geography. Geography studies the spatial distribution of features across Earth’s landscape, such as the location of landforms, water bodies, and the organization of climate zones. It also considers the human landscape including how populations are distributed, why they migrate, and the ways they alter natural and urban environments. As a tool to advance these spatial analyses, the Geography program teaches the use of both traditional and computer-based geotechnical skills (geotechniques) such as cartography, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS).

Geography is a discipline that integrates the environmental and social sciences. Geography studies location, places, regions, human-environment interactions, and movement. Its tools include cartography and geographic information systems (GIS). On the job, Geography graduates address social, physical, and environmental problems from the global to the local scale.

The program in BSc in Geography provides a general bachelor level education in geography. It includes introductory modules to Nature and social sciences, to Geology and to Geography. The core of the program is based on the fundamental issues of including topics in Physical, Human and Regional geography.

Our Environmental Geography course is unique in bridging environmental and social sciences, training you for exciting and diverse career options.

Geography BSc trains geographers who have advanced theoretical and applied geographic knowledge; they are able to analyze the spatial and temporal correlations of the natural, socio-economic and urban environment, to synthesize results, and to gain knowledge in their academic field independently.

This BA (Honours) in Social Sciences (Geography) is one of several specialist routes available in our BA (Honours) Social Sciences (R23) degree. Half of your studies will be in interdisciplinary social science and sociology, giving you a firm grounding in the knowledge and ideas that are central to the social sciences. For the other half, you’ll learn how key geographical concepts can be applied to some of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century, including globalisation, development, climate change, migration and urbanisation.

Our Master's Programme in Geography is based on high-quality research groups operating in some of the major fields of geography. It is divided into three study tracks: 1) physical geography, 2) human geography, and 3) geoinformatics.

The master's degree in Geography and Territorial Sciences trains professionals capable of integrating cultural, socio-economic, technical and planning knowledge for spatial and environmental analysis, organisation and management. As such, it trains a new generation of skilled workers and citizens who can effectively deal with the unprecedented contemporary societal, economic and political challenges both locally and internationally (e.g., environmental crisis, planetary urbanisation, globalisation, geopolitical tensions).

The purpose of the Ph.D. in Geography is to provide qualifying students with an in-depth understanding and integrated knowledge of advanced applicable theory in the field of geography.

Join our BSc (Hons) Geography and discover how, at both local and global levels, many of the main challenges facing the world in the 21st century are related to geography. Studying an exciting mix of physical, environmental and human geography, this course will equip you with the wide range of knowledge and skills needed for the modern workplace.

The program in Education (Geography) MA is designed for those interested in exploring the relationship between geography and education. It offers a mix of theoretical and practical approaches, helping students deepen their understanding of how spatia…

Our Geographer MSc, training covers both areas and provides specialized knowledge to help you learn as thoroughly as possible about the complex relationship of human society and the environment. The Institute of Geography and Environmental Sciences of Eszterházy Károly Catholic University in Eger provides you with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills.

The Master of Science in Geography degree program trains young professionals in areas of human and physical geography, while building on students’ working knowledge of geospatial techniques. With a faculty-to-student ratio of 1-to-2, our graduate students have exceptional mentorship and research opportunities.
