Programme

First year

In the first year, you will take the Common Core courses as well as courses from the various Application Domains. The Common Core provides a strong foundation to all students by teaching the fundamentals of data gathering, processing, analysing, and visualisation. Covered topics include ‘Positioning and Location Awareness’, ‘Geographical Information Systems and Geovisualisation’, ‘3D Modelling of the Built Environment’, ‘Geo Datasets and Quality’, ‘Geo Databases Management Systems’, ‘GeoWeb Technology, ‘Spatial Decision Support’, and ‘Geo-information Organisation and Legislation’.

The application domains are sets of interlinked courses meant to broaden and/or deepen the students’ knowledge in one of the many Geomatics application fields: Urban Analysis, Asset/Facility Management, Watermanagement, Hydrography, Remote Sensing and other geo-related fields. If you need to update your knowledge in Mathematics, Computer Science or basic geographical courses you can use a portion of the application domain credits to follow convergence courses.

Second year

In the second year, students can choose to undertake the Geomatics Synthesis Project or follow additional courses from one of the Application Domains. The Synthesis Project allows you to combine knowledge from the core programme and apply it to a real-world project while gaining hands-on experience in project management. The MSc in Geomatics is concluded with an individual graduation project that takes about 9 months to complete.
