Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly part of the daily life of those whose occupation is related to the territory and its relationship with Man. With the emergence of geographic information technologies, the labour market in companies and institutions connected to the field has grown proportionally faster than the responses given by public and private universities in terms of training and skills. Due to this gap between supply and demand, there has been a proliferation of several technical courses, generally of low qualification and not always provided with sufficient theoretical and scientific body, which have been the main responsible for the training of those who currently work in the area of GIS.

Objectives 

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.

Career prospects 
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.
