"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .

The practicals provide an illustration of the introduced concepts and also allow you the develop practical skills. They consist of a supervised part, to help you start up practical activities and to discuss the results, and an unsupervised part for self-directed learning and skills development. Topics are usually finalised with plenary wrap-up sessions in which conceptual and practical issues are dealt with.\n\nExercise instructions used in the practicals are task oriented, thus requiring a more active and self-supporting attitude from you. This also helps you to prepare for the planning and execution of project assignments that you will carry out later on in the course programme at ITC. In the year 2021 we will consider QGIS as the software of choice for majority of the practicals and assignments."@en .

We concentrate on the underlying geospatial concepts that contribute to the development of technological innovations. With the help of GIS and RS we also increase our understanding of aspects of system Earth. GIS and RS help us in making contributions to solutions for global challenges, such as the dealing with effects of climate change and rapid urbanisation, and the need for a more sustainable use of our resources.\n\nThis first quartile (entitled 'GIS and RS for Geospatial Problem Solving') of your study programme at ITC consists of three interrelated courses. In these courses we aim to provide you with a general understanding about GIS and RS principles, and with hands-on experience in using software tools for handling and processing geospatial data. Apart from the geo-technological focus, the courses also challenge you in developing an attitude of using GIS and RS in dealing with geospatial problems and answering geospatial questions related to real world problems and challenges. The three courses will take you through the main stages of a geospatial problem solving cycle: from the identification of a geospatial problem and associated questions, via the acquisition, management and exploration of maps, images and other geospatial data, to the analysis and processing of images and spatial data, and eventually to the generation and communication of geospatial information needed for answering the geospatial questions."@en .
