Emphasis is placed on developing both technical skills and analytical thinking to address complex spatial problems.

The course trains highly qualified experts in territorial analysis and spatial development and management able to operate in the Italian and international labor market, and in particular in the field of development cooperation.

The Master of Geosciences offers a classical two-year training in French. Additionally, we offer a one-year training in English for graduate students. This one-year course called ‘Geoengineering ’ (~270 h lecture and 5-6 month internship) will be particularly appreciated by foreign students who wish to reinforce their background in different fields of Petroleum Engineering. This year is also open for regular students who started French classes during their first year in the Master "Of Geosciences". This Master benefits from a particularly rich environment in geosciences and energy. The Master is part of the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies for Energy and Environment (STEE). The STEE Faculty has been founded within the framework of the prestigious label I-SITE which granted the project Energy Environment Solutions (E2S). It also benefits from the immediate surroundings of Carnot ISIFOR (Sustainable Engineering of Georesources) and a national pole for Geosciences and Innovation (Avenia). In addition, Pau hosts dozens of Petroleum companies, including Total, Terega, Modis, etc... Pau has therefore one of the highest concentrations of petroleum engineers and scientists in France.

The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at the University of Otago is a postgraduate programme that develops advanced skills in spatial data analysis, geospatial technologies, and applied research. It combines coursework with a research thesis, allowing students to gain both theoretical understanding and practical experience in GIS and related fields.

The MSc Program In Geomaterials and Geological Resources is jointly organized by the universities of Aveiro and Porto, taking advantage of the conjugation of the areas in which those universities gained greater expertise in what regards mineral and energy resources.

The Masters in Geography program has two tracks: The thesis track (for students interested in conducting independent research; often these students enter a PhD program following the Masters) or the non-thesis track (for students interested in advancing their expertise without conducting independent research; these students typically enter the workforce following their degree).

Geographers build bridges between diverse fields and disciplines. They frequently assume the role of mediators between the humanities and natural and social sciences. In order to do this, geographers not only need to obtain a clear overview of the various fields of geography (Physical Geography, Human Geography and Geography of Sustainability), they also must have extensive knowledge in at least one of these fields. The numerous connections between geography and other disciplines and the knowledge and skills gained through such links are very much in demand in many professions today.
