Graduate School of Sciences | Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Syst.

Department of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has been offering a Master's Degree Program (Thesis/ Non-Thesis options) since the Fall Semester 2003-2004. In the Institute of Earth and Spaces Sciences, where most classes are held, there are RS and GIS laboratories and classrooms. The program aims to cover branches of geology, mining, geophysics, mapping, environment, agriculture, civil engineering as well as detailed analysis and modeling studies on urban and regional planning-related professions. The RS and GIS are nowadays required in physical sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.), social sciences ( law, management, public administration, etc.) and military areas. The aim of the program is to train students to associate technological developments with their professions and to analyze the data accurately. In addition to the knowledge students obtained during their BA degree, current theoretical studies and applied laboratory practice will be conducted. The participants of the programme will be equipped with enough knowledge and experience in order to conduct both academically scientific research and research projects for governmental organizations, private and industrial establishments.
