Master in Geospatial Technologies (MSc)

Geospatial Technologies is a three-semester joint Master's programme that bridges informatics and geosciences. It is designed for graduates with Bachelor's degrees in application areas of geographic information, including environmental sciences, geosciences, ecology, regional planning, and computer science. Graduates develop methods for computer-supported solutions to spatially related problems at global, regional, and local scales, with specialised knowledge in geospatial technologies and geographic information, as well as informatics and mathematics. The programme is structured across three partner universities. The first semester is spent at either Universitat Jaume I (Castellon, Spain) or Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal), each offering courses with a different emphasis — computing aspects of geographic information at Jaume I, and processing and modelling aspects including remote sensing at Lisbon. The second semester takes place at the University of Münster (Germany), covering GI Science fundamentals, advanced research topics, and research methods. The third semester is devoted to the Master's thesis, completed at one of the three partner institutions. A joint degree is awarded by all three universities. The programme is available through Erasmus+ funding and is based at the University of Münster in Münster, Germany.
