Education

The Faculty of Geography and Geoinformation Technology operates the Bachelor's programme ‘Geography of Global Changes and Geoinformation Technology’ and the Master's programmes ‘Low Carbon Development’ and ‘Spatial Data and Applied Geoanalytics.’

Students of the Bachelor's programme receive fundamental theoretical training in the main geographical disciplines and get to know cutting-edge research paradigms and concepts. The study programme covers a wide range of research methods: geographic, mathematical, geophysical, geochemical, biological, geoecological, sociological, and economic. A key part of the undergraduate programme is in-depth training in geographic information technology (GIS) for all students. Significant attention is paid to mathematical and IT training, as well as to modern methods of statistical data analysis.

The Master's programme in Low Carbon Development trains specialists in climate strategies, policies, and projects. Graduates of the programme will have a comprehensive knowledge of modern methods and tools for measuring and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, and will possess the relevant competencies to develop climate policy measures, implement climate projects, and work in carbon markets.

The Master's programme ‘Spatial Data and Applied Geoanalytics’ trains specialists who are equally proficient in modern geoanalytical tools and spatial data science, as well as in contemporary issues of territorial development and approaches to spatial decision-making. Graduates of the programme possess a broad knowledge of key territorial development challenges (social, economic, and environmental), a deep understanding of the essence of various territorial development problems faced by businesses, government authorities, development institutions, and local communities, as well as proficiency with modern methods and geoanalytical and spatial modelling tools applied to address these problems.
