The MSc in Geographic Information and Climate Change gives cross-disciplinary training in the scientific basis of GIS, satellite remote sensing and earth system modelling, alongside aspects of climate change.

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.

Looking for a program with a research focus on physical geography, social and urban geography, or GIS and spatial modeling? Then this competitive inter-university program is perfect for you! VUB and KU Leuven offers this innovative and internationally recognized program on fundamental and applied aspects of geosciences.

The Master of Science (MSc) in Geography at the University of Otago is a postgraduate research‑oriented degree that allows students to explore key spatial, environmental, and societal themes within human and physical geography. The programme blends advanced study with independent research.

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.

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.

During this 4-semester MSc in Geography, our students will focus on GIS methods and remote sensing tools applied in surface geomorphology both in a classroom environment and in the field. They will have the opportunity to join in and participate in research and scientific projects run by IGES. The Institute has research collaborations with global companies like ESA and SARMap, and international relations with research groups from Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Slovenia, China, and the US. These projects may provide internships for our students to experience the international atmosphere and scientific skills and knowledge.

In the master's in Economic Geography, you will learn to understand these region-specific socio-economic development paths. We focus on the actions of people and firms and how they govern regional economic development: where do entrepreneurs start their businesses, how do firms grow, where do people live, where do they move to and which jobs do they have? Can we understand their choices? With this information on an individual level, you will be able to understand regional developments and formulate policy avenues to govern such processes locally, nationally and internationally.

The programme of Master of Science in Applied Geographic Information Systems (hereafter MSc in Applied GIS), a single-degree coursework Master’s programme hosted in the Department of Geography at NUS, is designed to reflect the cutting-edge technologies and latest developments in GIS and its applications with the reputation of NUS Geography as one of the top 10 geography departments around the world.

The MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing is accredited by both the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the UK. Graduates of this MSc are eligible to proceed along the pathway to become Chartered Geomatics Surveyors.

The MSc in Environmental Modelling and Data Analysis will provide you with the skills to go on to a career in this exciting area. You will learn how models of environmental processes are developed and applied across a range of areas including climate change, flooding, biogeochemistry and glaciers.

The Master of Science (MSc) in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at the University of Otago is a postgraduate degree that combines advanced study with independent research, focusing on spatial data analysis, mapping technology, and practical applications of GIS.

The MSc in Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing equips you with critical theoretical knowledge and the skills to become an expert in GIS, Geospatial Analysis and Earth Observation. You’ll explore the fundamentals of GIS and remote sensing, and build your skills to observe, analyse.

Cities and urban regions are breeding grounds for innovation and economic growth. However, continuous urban growth can lead to several challenges and differences, and an increasingly global economy has both winners and losers. So how do different people use and experience a diversity of spaces within cities? And how can we explain that some regions grow, while others decline?

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.
