MSc in Geoinformatics Engineering
The Master’s Degree Programme in Geoinformatics Engineering provides mathematical, computational, and technological tools for the processing of geospatial observations, such as satellite imagery and GNSS observations, in support of environmental monitoring, land management, infrastructure planning, and emergency management.
The programme operates within a technologically advanced and rapidly evolving field, integrating systems for data acquisition, processing, and management, also through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, with the aim of transforming georeferenced data into structured information and contributing to the development of the Digital Earth paradigm.
Admission to the Master’s Degree Programme in Geoinformatics Engineering requires a first-cycle degree (EQF Level 6) or an equivalent qualification, as well as certification of English language proficiency.
Admission is subject to the evaluation, by an Admission Committee, of the adequacy of the candidate’s prior academic background, based on the study curriculum completed and the final grade obtained.
For graduates holding degrees in classes L-7, L-8 and L-9, admission is subject solely to the assessment of merit requirements.
For further information on admission requirements and evaluation procedures, please refer to the Academic Regulations of the Study Programme, available here
For applicants holding a foreign qualification, admission to the Master’s Degree Programme requires a valid first-level degree recognized in the country where it was awarded, an academic background adequate and consistent with the chosen programme, and compliance with the required language proficiency criteria.
Admission is subject to the evaluation of the applicant’s academic record by the Admission Committee, which assesses curricular requirements, the quality and coherence of the prior study programme, and the mandatory documentation submitted.
The Master’s Degree Programme in Geoinformatics Engineering aims to educate engineers with a solid theoretical and applied background in the management, processing, and analysis of geospatial data, capable of applying these competencies to the solution of complex environmental and territorial problems.
The programme integrates mathematical and statistical methods, techniques for the acquisition and processing of observations (both conventional and satellite-based), reference systems and geospatial data representation, computing architectures, and methodologies for the management of large-scale datasets. Particular emphasis is placed on developing independent learning skills and critical thinking, which are essential in a field characterized by rapid technological evolution.
Teaching activities combine lectures, practical exercises, and laboratory work based on real or realistic case studies, fostering the development of design skills and problem-solving abilities. The programme concludes with an original Master’s thesis project, aimed at the autonomous and innovative application of the knowledge acquired.
For detailed information on the programme structure and course offerings, please refer to the Academic Regulations and the Study Manifesto, available at the following links:
Graduates in Geoinformatics Engineering find employment in small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the development and management of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in the design and management of spatial databases, as well as in logistics and planning.
They may work in public and private organizations, at both national and local levels, in the fields of cartography, cadastre, spatial data infrastructures, and environmental data management and analysis, as well as in large industries and organizations requiring specialized expertise in geospatial information.
Career opportunities are also available in companies developing systems for the management and analysis of environmental sensor networks and software tools for environmental and territorial applications, as well as in research centers and innovative enterprises active in areas such as the Internet of Places, Big Geodata, Sensor Enablement, Urban Data Analytics, and Earth Observation.
Graduates may also pursue further academic advancement through enrollment in a PhD programme.
