The master's program provides a broad spectrum of GIS, Earth observation, CAD, WebGIS, Database management, GIS programming surface modeling, and 3D visualization-related disciplines for all international students. The program also includes a six-week professional practice at self-selected private and public businesses and companies, however, the practice is also available at the university and at the IGES. By completing the professional practice, the student will gain a broad range of practical and project management skills and knowledge to explain, analyze, interpret and execute various planning programs.

Why should you study Geoinformatics MSc at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Pécs?

GIS (Geographic Information System) is a cutting-edge science and device, which helps create, manage, analyze, and map all types of data. GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. The benefits include improved communication and efficiency as well as better management and decision-making. Being a topic of such a broad aspect it offers opportunities for gaining general and specific knowledge in any spatial sciences and a great selection for jobs in various fields.
