Master’s Programme in Landscape Analysis with Remote Sensing, GIS and Cartography

  • Rating12345

Landscape Analysis has traditionally been primarily a map reading task. Today, maps and mapping are digital, as are geographical information of many other types. Geographic information systems (GIS) make efficient management of data possible, thus facilitating many different types of analysis and modelling. Landscape change, environmental monitoring and mapping, as well as environmental issues in general, feature significantly on the daily political agenda. This scenario is further enhanced by international environmental agreements that demand the continuous reporting of the status of and change in the environment.

Consequently, graduates mastering skills in data acquisition methods and analysis, as well as in visualisation and mapping, are in high demand in both the public and private sectors. This Master’s programme develops students’ skills in several fields, such as remote sensing, GIS, methods for modelling, explorative data analysis and visualisation with a focus on landscape information.

Compulsory courses are: Applied Environmental Modelling; Positioning, Map Projections and Digital Photogrammetry; Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing; and Geographic Analysis and Visualisation in GIS. The number of elective courses students take is dependent on the period of time devoted to the Master’s thesis.

We strongly advice students interested in the Master’s Programme in Landscape Analysis with Remote Sensing, GIS and Cartography who need a refresher in RS and GIS to start with GE4012 GIS and Remote Sensing, 15 HECs, Undergraduate level, which is possible to include in the Landscape Analysis Master.
