4 Geoinformatics Degree Programs

The Geoinformatics Engineering Master of Science is the first in Italy and exploits the long lasting experience of Politecnico di Milano in both Environmental, Geomatics and Computer Science to form new and multidisciplinary experts highly requested by both private and public sectors.

This Master's degree is developed in collaboration with UNIGIS, an international network that brings together the best schools in the field of Geographic Information Systems, and has obtained GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence) accreditation from the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), being the first course outside the USA to be accredited by this organization.

Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management focuses on the process of resource modeling and mine management. Students will be taught a variety of subjects related to the field of mining and mineral resources. This includes financial, environmental, political as well as legal aspects of national and international mining projects. In addition to the standard courses taught by staff from partner universities and industry experts, massive open online courses are offered for the students.

Geographic information science (GIS) is a relatively new field that uses computer technology to link maps to digital data. Resource managers and urban planners rely on the expertise of GIS technicians when they are making critical decisions about asset management, environmental assessment, development, and harvest. GIS skills are applicable in any organization that maintains assets in the environment.
