Master in Geographic Information Systems and Science

Education objectives

Developed in partnership with UNIGIS, the master degree program in Geographic Information Systems and Science provides a broad training in theoretical and practical fields related to geographic systems analysis, in e-learning or b-learning formats. It recently obtained the GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence) accreditation by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) and was the first program outside the US to be accredited by this organization.

Designed to meet businesses, and public and private organizations’ needs, the study program provides the needed framework to acknowledge technical, scientific and organizational aspects of GIS applications, to settle analysis techniques related to the conception and the implementation of GIS projects, and to assure the needed qualifications for a scientific career in Geographical Science and Information Systems. 

The goal of this program is to train technical staff and managers to:

- Develop appropriate strategies, methodologies, and tools of geographic information management, for the analysis of questions raised when using this type of information;

- Model, monitor, and simulate geographic, demographic, and environmental phenomena in diverse analysis contexts;

- Use methodologies and tools of exploration and analysis, to reduce the levels of uncertainty related to the resolution of problems of a geographical nature; 

- Design and develop information systems and technologies that meet the needs of geographic information in organizations.
