We live in a geo-enabled world where geographic information and earth observation data are essential. These data drive decision-making, help monitor our environment and resources, track species occurrences, assess ecosystems, and map health risks, land use, and environmental changes over time. As our planet transforms, understanding where and how these changes occur—and their impact—is critical.
This Master’s programme equips you with the geospatial skills needed to tackle today’s global challenges with local solutions. You will learn to harness geographic and earth observation data, spatial data science, and geospatial technologies to analyse complex problems and create sustainable, data-driven solutions. Gain theoretical expertise, develop technical skills, and build data competencies to make a real-world impact.
Jointly with the Capital Normal University ITC has developed an MSc programme exposing course participants to developments in geo-information science and earth observation for assessment, monitoring and prediction purposes in the fields of Applied Earth Sciences, Geoinformatics, Urban Planning, Land Administration, Natural and Water Resources. In this MSc degree programme one can apply for the double degree programme as part of the 3-year MSc at CNU. The 18 months joint part of the CNU degree with ITC leads to a Dutch MSc Degree in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation. Participation in the ITC component may be in the first or second year of the CNU’s 3 year programme. The course is designed for those with a BSc in Geography, Geographic Information Science and those enrolling for an MSc in Physical Geography, Human Geography, Maps and Geographic Information System, Environmental Science, Cartography, Geographic Information System, Environmental Engineering, Hydrology and Water Resources. Most of the alumni work for ministries of water, irrigation departments, meteorological departments, water authorities, universities or international organizations such as IWMI and UNEP.
Jointly with the Chang'an University ITC has developed an MSc programme exposing course participants to developments in geo-information science and earth observation.
In this two-year, English-taught Master's, you will learn how to use advanced geospatial data and modern technology to find solutions to challenges in urban planning, agriculture and natural ecosystems. This unique master's degree, developed by four European universities, prepares you for a career in which you make an impact in research, policy or business. Contribute to a better world and become an expert in data analysis and environmental management.
The Disaster Resilience specialisation offers exciting learning paths for students eager to focus on disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response, and resilience - especially in the context of climate change. You’ll gain invaluable skills and knowledge tailored for various disaster resilience-related career opportunities.
This specialisation allows you to concentrate your studies and research on critical disaster-related topics, including monitoring, prediction, emergency response, and decision-making. You’ll have the flexibility to combine modules from the other specialisations, enriching your learning experience.
Moreover, you’ll benefit from ongoing interaction with real-world educational activities, alongside active investments and projects related to natural hazards and risk management. You’ll also have the chance to collaborate with ITC’s Center for Disaster Resilience (CDR), ensuring that your education is aligned with current industry needs and challenges.
Join the Disaster Resilience specialisation and empower yourself to make a meaningful impact in creating safer communities and a more resilient world!
Geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) combines advances in spatial science (GIScience) and big geospatial data with the rapid growth of AI and machine learning. It enhances our understanding of Earth’s processes and supports solutions for managing resources, ecosystems, and disaster risks.
If you are keen on leveraging technology to automate the analysis of complex spatial datasets, integrating remote sensing images, UAV data, citizen science, and local sensor data, GeoAI is the ideal specialisation for you.
Gain knowledge and skills in quantitative remote sensing to map, model, monitor and manage the natural environment through an interdisciplinary approach.
The Resources Security specialisation provides a comprehensive foundation in sustainable management of the natural environment, focusing on water, food, energy, biodiversity and critical raw materials. With three dedicated learning pathways—Natural Resource Security, Water Resource Security, and Geological Remote Sensing—this program combines an interdisciplinary approach to "System Earth” with the possibility to specialise in one learning pathway. It is designed to accommodate diverse academic backgrounds and career aspirations. You will develop advanced competencies in quantitative remote sensing, resource modelling, and impact management through a combination of core courses and specialised electives. These skills prepare for careers as geospatial information expert in hydrology, agriculture, environmental conservation and geology.
The Spatial Data Science specialisation is designed for students who would like a bit more flexibility can create their own learning pathway to achieve their career goals with the help of an adviser.
Learn to understand complex urban and regional processes and develop scalable, sustainable strategies that work towards inclusive, competitive, and resilient urban regions and effective land administration through the development of cadastral maps and registers.
The Urban and Land Futures specialisation is designed for students like you who are passionate about tackling social, environmental, economic, and land tenure challenges in urban and regional areas. By 2050, 68% of the world’s population is projected to live in urban areas; therefore, making cities liveable, inclusive, safe and resilient to climate extremes is important. In addition, with more than 70% of the world’s land parcels unregistered, the need for efficient, responsible land administration has never been greater. Land is the foundation of every society, yet millions of people face uncertainty about their land ownership, particularly in and around urban areas. Geographic information and geospatial technologies play a vital role in capturing the dynamic changes occurring in our cities, mapping and managing land security to help design sustainable cities of the future.
