Spatial Engineering
Master
Climate change, poverty, natural disasters, food shortages and epidemics — each one a major, complex issue with no simple solution. These so-called wicked problems call for smart, socially engaged engineers who use technology to create real, sustainable impact.
In this Master’s, you learn how to use geographic information systems (GIS), data analysis and modelling to contribute to a better world. You’ll combine technical skills with knowledge of social, economic and cultural contexts, and map the interests of different stakeholders to develop creative, practical solutions to complex challenges. You’ll learn to look beyond standard models, redefine problems, and work together on projects tackling urban development, food security and climate adaptation. After graduation, you can work at organisations in fields like water management, infrastructure, renewable energy, environmental remote sensing, or agriculture and nature conservation.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
