Course name: Geoinformatics
Field of study: natural sciences
Language of the training: English
Form of training: full time or correspondence
Education level: Master’s degree (MSc)
Duration: 4 semesters
Qualification level and designation of the qualification in the diploma
- degree level: master’s (master, abbreviated: MSc) degree
- professional qualification: Expert in Geoinformatics
The purpose of the training:
The goal of the master’s program in geoinformatics is to train geoinformatics researchers and analysts who, based on their basic and practical knowledge of natural sciences, mathematics, IT and English, are able to creatively cultivate the science of geoinformatics. Based on their preparation, experts in geoinformatics are able to interpret spatial phenomena, processes and information related to geographic location, as well as to perform problem solving, planning, development, operation, management and consulting tasks in the operation of geoinformatics systems, decision support systems and expert systems. They are prepared to continue their studies in doctoral training.
The person in charge of the Geoinformatics master’s course: Dr. habil. Tamás JANCSÓ (jancso.tamas @ amk.uni-obuda.hu)
The main areas of the training:
| Basics of natural sciences | 10 credits | |
| Economic, legal and human knowledge | 7 credits | |
| Professional knowledge in geoinformatics | 69 credits | |
| Optional subjects | 6 credits | |
| Professional practice | 8 credits | |
| Thesis | 20 credits | |
| Altogether: | 120 credits |
Internship:
The professional practice is a continuous practice corresponding to 240 hours and lasting six weeks, which is the solution of a field geoinformatics task at a professional practice place outside the institution (field data collection, evaluation and processing after a survey). The professional practice can also be completed abroad, which can also be considered a mobility window. The credit value of the professional practice is a total of 8 credits.
Language requirements (for issuing the diploma)
In order to obtain the master’s degree, a state-recognized intermediate level (B2) complex type language exam or an equivalent graduation certificate or diploma is required.
