Study programmes

Graduates of the study program gain advanced knowledge and skills in both theoretical and applied geoinformatics, especially regarding the spatial data collection, distribution, analysis, modelling and visualisation. Having knowledge in topographic, thematic and digital cartography, they are able to produce different kinds of map outputs. The graduates are able to apply modern geoinformatics and cartographic methods in all areas requiring advanced processing and visualisation of spatial data. The graduates have an overview on automated data processing, algorithmisating and programming of basic GIS and cartographic tasks; thus, the graduates are able to create their own GIS applications. They also have knowledge of advanced methods of remote sensing data acquisition and processing. They are able to design spatial databases and effectively process a large amount of data. They are able to present results of applied processing methods in a form of cartographic outputs according to the cartographic rules including 3D visualisation.
Having a complex overview and up-to-date knowledge in geoinformatics and cartography, the graduates can participate in preparing, solving and coordinating research and applied multidisciplinary projects on both national and international levels. They can be involved in expert processing of spatial data, development of new technologies, designing new methods of spatial analyses. The graduates are employed as cartographic and geoinformatics specialists in governmental institutions on both state and regional levels (cadastral and land offices, ministries, municipalities) in research institutions, and universities. Regarding industry, the graduates can apply for positions with responsibilities of spatial data collection, analysis, and visualisation or in software development companies focused on map and GIS applications. The graduates can find job opportunities in institutions administrating transport infrastructures, telecommunication a technical networks, urban and land planning, nature and environment protection. The geoinformatics profession has recently found application in non-profit organisations e.g. those that focus on international development aid. Finally, after completing necessary pedagogical course, the graduates can teach geoinformatics, cartography, and geography on both primary and secondary levels.
