7 Cartography Masters Degree Programs

The goal of this program is to train Cartographers with a professional cartographic approach based on high level theoretical and practical knowledge. This program is recommended to applicants who want to able to manage and coordinate cartographic and geoinformatics research projects as well as to have the knowledge and skills to solve traditional cartographic or information technology-based problems.

The Department of Geography offers a thesis-based master of science in Cartography and Geographic Information Systems. The program provides a broad foundation in the theory and application of mapping and geographic information sciences.

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.

This unique and forward-looking MSc is designed to provide you with a solid grounding in key modern principles and methods required for a career in applied geology in our changing world. The course is taught by experts from diverse geoscience disciplines, including pure and applied geology, geophysics, geomodelling and computational geoscience, with experience in the minerals and geo-energy sectors. It focuses on generic aspects of data interpretation, analysis and computer modelling of the deeper and shallow subsurface using real-world data and leading industry software (e.g., Petrel, Leapfrog, ArcGIS Pro).

This master's in Geoinformation Technology & Cartography focuses on understanding and managing the locational data required to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) together with visualisation and map production in a GIS environment.

Graduates gain extended and in-depth specialist knowledge in the field of geodesy and cartography and real estate management, have team management skills, show creative initiative, have the ability to make decisions and deal with complex technical, legal and administrative tasks and problems.
