Geoinformatics for Urbanised Society

The master’s programme focuses on building interdisciplinary competence by combining geography and IT. Special emphasis is put on problem-driven approach and development of practical skills of students.

Learn modern techniques of analyzing environmental and urban processes in the age of BIG data.
Use spatial analysis tools to learn how to master the full cycle of spatial data management, starting with fieldwork and data acquisition, and ending with visualising planning solutions.
Understand how to better plan contemporary urbanized societies at times of global warming, concerns with pollution, increased global population mobility, ethnic integration, housing crises in the cities and urban poverty.

Geo-information Science and Earth Observation for Environmental Modelling and Management

The Erasmus Mundus joint master degree programme is coordinated by the University of Twente (the Netherlands) together with University of Tartu, the Department of Geography, Lund University (Sweden) and Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). The two-year English-taught master’s programme allows students to study in two countries and earn a double degree diploma of two universities. They can choose between four study tracks, spending the first year either in Tartu or Lund and the second either in the Netherlands or Belgium. Each partner university brings their strengths to the programme. The University of Tartu Department of Geography is responsible for explaining and analysing the nature of social and environmental issues by various methods of geoinformatics and remote sensing.

Graduates of this programme will be able to work in both public and private sector as specialists or analysts of spatial data, remote sensing or geoinformatics, or as consultants for planning and regional policy.

There are 15 scholarship available for study, living and travel expenses.

For more information, see the web page of the programme.
