General Information

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems Program, on the basis of recognition of satellite technologies and data, their use in multi-disciplinary studies, providing detailed analysis and modeling outcomes, such as geology, mining, geophysics, maps, environment, agriculture, construction, etc. In addition to engineering branches, it provides the utilization and development of spatial information technologies for professions such as landscape architecture, city and regional planning.

Length of Programme & Number of Credits

4 Year - 240 ECTS

Feature & Definition

Developing creative solutions for concrete problems encountered in national and international project studies requires a higher level scientific process. The most important steps of the project implementation in the fields of science, engineering, landscape, agriculture, planning and architecture are predicting the problems that may be encountered in the planning process and producing solutions for possible problems.
