Curriculum, general information and admission

What you will study on the bachelor's degree in Geoinformation and Geomatics Engineering

In the first year, you will take subjects that are common to all engineering degrees but with an emphasis on the subjects areas of the bachelor's degree: geoinformation and cartography, geomatic instruments and methods, and computer-aided design.

From the second year onwards, you will study the degree's subject areas in more depth, and you will be able to take subjects related to:

Global positioning systems (GPS-GNSS)
Smart cities
Big data processing
Use of geoinformation for mobile applications
Implementation of geoservices
Spatial databases
Geographic information systems (GIS)
Digital photogrammetry (including the use of drones)

Teaching model

Learning is continuous and applied: approximately 50% of the credits for the degree are devoted to practical training, which takes place in the School's laboratories and specialised classrooms.

Bachelor's thesis

In the last year, you will write a thesis in the field of specific geoinformation and geomatics engineering technologies. The thesis is of a professional nature and serves to synthesise and integrate the competencies acquired on the degree.
