With the continuous development of information technology, the amount of data that needs to be processed, analysed and interpreted for the broad needs of the human population is growing. These data often come from heterogeneous
sources and are localised in space and time. The labour market is therefore in continuous demand for skilled graduates who have a comprehensive knowledge of working with spatial data.
The study of the programme builds on the foundations acquired by studying the Bachelor's degree in Geoinformatics, or a related bachelor's programme.
The follow-up Master's degree in Geoinformatics focuses on teaching advanced processing and analysis of spatial and non-spatial data using conventional quantitative techniques and modern approaches based on artificial intelligence. Existing geoinformatics and other applications, or self-developed applications and scripts, are used to process this data, so graduates are able to provide automation and replicability of processes. In the process of data acquisition, storage and processing, they are also able to use spatial database systems, server technologies, web services or cloud services. The emphasis is put on the ability to apply a systematic approach to problem solving, self-interpretation of results and quality presentation of the produced outputs using advanced data visualization techniques. Students also develop their knowledge and skills in Earth observation, localization and navigation in space, modeling and simulations
or soft skills.
Graduates find employment in companies operating in most industries, especially in IT, environment related sectors, the financial sector, construction, transport and integrated rescue services. A number of graduates have also successfully started their own businesses.
