Unit: Department of Geoinformatics

The Department of Geoinformatics at the UPOL was founded in 2001. Its main research domains are spatial modeling, digital cartography, and remote sensing. This department operates 2 master’s degree programs. One is taught in Czech language, while the other is a CDE master’s program that participates in the Erasmus Mundus. The entrance degree for the master’s program is batchlor’s degree and the duration is 2 years. After the graduation from the master’s program, the student can continue pursuing the PhD degree.
