The Master in Geographic Information Systems and Modelling Applied to Spatial Planning aims to provide general training in Geographic Information Systems through:
Advanced training in the fields of geographic information;
Methodologies for acquisition, storage and quantitative analysis of geographic data;
Cartographic and graphic representation;
Spatial analysis;
Territorial modelling applied to planning.
Employers are public and private organisations in the field of Spatial Information Acquisition, Geographic Information Systems and Cartography, but also all entities that work with digital geographic information, either in the academic field (e.g. research centres) or in the business field (consulting firms), in which GIS work processes are fundamental. In any of the contexts it is common to find Master's students integrated in multidisciplinary teams and in projects of a very varied nature, but with a special focus on territorial studies.
