Master's Scholarship: see relevant information here .AboutWithin the new information technologies, Geographical Information Technologies (TIG) constitute a field in increasing expansion, due to its versatility, with application in fields as diverse as the environment and natural resources, land use planning, urban planning, transportation planning, management and planning of public services, geomarketing, etc. As is known, the core of these technologies is found in Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and Digital Cartography, in addition to GPS and Photogrammetry.
Currently, TIGs are basic tools in the investigation, planning and management of the territory. TIGs have demonstrated their ability to solve a multitude of problems with a spatial component, which makes them increasingly used in research and in the professional world (both private companies and public administrations). Hence, there is a growing labor demand for experts in the use of GITs.

goalsThe University Master's Degree is professional, so it is aimed at qualifying the student for his work as an expert in Geographical Information Technologies, both in the business world and in public administrations. But it also provides the necessary preparation to be able to guide the student's future towards research, so that after completing the University Master's degree, it is possible to continue with Doctoral studies.RecipientsGraduates or graduates in disciplines related to the territory: geographers, geologists, biologists, environmentalists, economists, sociologists, archaeologists, surveyors, cartography and geodesy engineers, foresters, civilians, agronomists, etc.Why study this master?The TIG are basic tools in the research, planning and management of the territory and have demonstrated their ability to solve a multitude of problems with a spatial component, which makes them increasingly used both in private companies and in public administrations, which contract TIG experts to work in fields as diverse as the sustainable use of natural resources, the prevention of natural risks, the management of natural areas, environmental impact studies, urban planning, transportation planning and management, planning public services, geomarketing, etc., as well as for the treatment of “Big Data” and its geolocated component or for 3D modeling.Admission requirements for mastersNon-enabling university mastersBe in possession of any of the following titles:Spanish official university degree .
