"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 .

Introductory lectures (primarily dealing with theory and concepts), discussion sessions (in which particulars such as literature, videos or other materials are being discussed) practicals (in which concepts and methods that have been studied will be practiced by the students), tutorials (cook book style assignments to learn to apply methods and tools) and a local fieldwork to gather data in the field and integrate these in the assignment.\n\nParticipation and attendance:\n\nMandatory attendance for supervised practicals, fieldwork activities and seminars is required;\nDue to educational activities that require active involvement (e.g. group presentations), the lecturer may demand mandatory attendance during lectures or parts thereof.\n The course coordinator will communicate this at the start of the course."@en .

"This course aims to develop a critical understanding of spatial planning based on academic discourses, the international development agenda and students' own experiences. Throughout the course the role of spatial data and information systems in urban planning and management will be highlighted and illustrated.\nStudents will develop a spatial understanding of specific urban issues in the students' home country by applying knowledge and skills in spatial information handling. Students are introduced to a set of both spatial and non-spatial methods relevant for the practice of urban planning and management. The concepts of Sustainability, Gentrification and Informality will be introduced and discussed. Available databases and data catalogues are explored to discuss different approaches to sustainability frameworks and assessments, and to understand the urban processes of gentrification and informality."@en .
