Geo-Information Science-Uni

Programme summary
The Geo-information Science programme focuses on solving spatial problems in rural areas and urban fringes by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Earth observation imagery (remote sensing). Many professional domains – such as natural resources management, land use planning and management, nature conservation, environmental monitoring and sustainable agricultural development – require reliable spatial information and methodology. Geo-information Science is increasingly called upon to solve complex environmental problems in these domains.

Your future career
Graduates in geo-information science have excellent career prospects. Most of them receive job offers before graduation. Almost half of our recent graduates have started as researchers (in PhD programmes or research institutes like Alterra), while about one third are technical specialists, consultants or project leaders in companies such as Royal Haskoning, Arcadis or Grontmij. Others still are employed in local or central government agencies and NGOs, including environmental assessment organisations.
