Lund University

Sweden, Scania, Lund

Units: Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science、Department of Human Geography

Lund University consists of the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystems and the Department of Human Geography. GIS and RS applications are involved in both departments, with a relative emphasis on these research directions as hydrology, vegetation, agriculture, and land use change. Regarding the GIS program of the school, the entrance degree for the master’s program (the Lund’s Geomatics master’s program, the EU-GEM joint master’s program, the Lund-ITC online teaching master’s program) is bachelor’s degree and the duration is 2 years. After graduating from the master’s program, the student can continue pursuing the Ph.D. degree.
