Description: This innovative Master degree program in English aims to equip graduates with the skills necessary to find solutions to today's complex interdisciplinary challenges. These challenges include the increasing threats posed by terrorism, natural disasters, shortage of natural resources, global warming, migration, traffic congestion, air pollution, or health care failures. We educate "spatially aware" experts and professionals for the international market and contribute to the development of strategies to overcome these threats.

Highlights: Spatial Information Management is a graduate program at the Department of Geoinformation. On completion of the program students will be awarded a Master of Science in GIS. The program's core curriculum provides students with a comprehensive knowledge in advanced concepts and applications of GIS, Spatial Data Management and Optimization Methods. After the first semester students choose either an IT or business technology management specialization.

The technological, IT-related focus of the Spatial Information Management master program is "GIS and Decision Support". Knowledge of spatial information, mathematical methods for simulation and advanced optimization processes are combined to design and improve models for complex "what if..." scenarios. These models provide decision makers with valuable insight and alternative perspectives enabling them to determine preventive actions or make comprehensive investment decisions.

"Spatial Technology Management and Entrepreneurship" is the second key area of this master program.
