Information for post-bachelor Master's study.
The aim of the baost-bachelors Master's study is to provide students with extensive detailed knowledge of the theory, methods and practices of geoinformatics, combined with a high level of practical skills in the acquisition, modelling and management of spatial data and geoinformation.
The Master's study in Geoinformatics, Cartography and Remote Sensing is focused on applied research, implementation of classical and digital map and atlas production, visualization and animation in cartography, remote sensing, geography, other geosciences and spatial administration. The graduate will acquire knowledge and skills in theoretical, general and thematic cartography, cartographic informatics, geodesy, physical and social geography, digital cartography, applied geoinformatics, cartographic reproduction and printing.
Students are expected to take an independent and active approach to their studies. Students have the possibility to work on scientific research projects during their studies and to complete part of their studies at a foreign university. The study is finished with a thesis defense and a state final exam.
Graduates find employment mainly in the department of the Czech Office of Surveying and Cadastre, cadastral and land offices, ministries, state and regional authorities and especially in organizations with informatics, geoinformatics, cartographic and geodetic focus.
Examples of courses taught in the Master's program:
Topographic Information Collection, Database Design and Management, Web Cartography, Mathematical Methods in Cartography, Applications of Geoinformatics, History of Cartography, Hyperspectral Data Processing, Programming for GIS, Aerial Photogrammetry and more.
