We believe that learning is most effective when it is based on specific examples in the physical environment. That's why our studies include a wide range of excursions and fieldwork.
Our students are encouraged to develop skills in their own specialization. The development of individual expertise doesn't dwell only in the selection of the optional subjects but mainly in the work on the thesis, something we put a significant accent on.

The majority of our graduates work as GIS specialists or scientists focusing on the complex issues of the natural environment. More about the career options of our graduates...
Besides maintaining the high quality of the educational activities, we are also aiming to be inspirational scientists for our students. That's why research is a crucial aspect of our work. Publications of our scientists often receive worldwide recognition: scientific fields of study, application possibilities.
