Natural disasters, poverty, food shortages, epidemics, and climate change are among the greatest challenges society faces today. These wicked problems are immensely complex, defying simple solutions. The world needs dedicated engineers who won't shy away from these challenges but feel compelled to craft sustainable, resilient solutions. Are you ready to tackle these multifaceted issues with a deep understanding of spatial information science? If so, this Master’s is the perfect choice for you.

You will learn to address large-scale societal challenges by combining technical and socio-economic knowledge with a strong foundation in spatial data analysis and modelling. You will become adept at mapping the conflicting needs of diverse stakeholders within intricate societal, political, economic, and cultural contexts. The key is to structure and redefine problems beyond obvious frameworks, enabling you to design solutions based on a multidisciplinary approach to wicked problems.
