Why this master's degree of continuing education?
The emergence of new information and communication technologies has led to the development of new applications and new ways of understanding and managing our environment, with a major boost for everything related to location, mobility, thematic mapping, massive data management (or Big Data) etc. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology can be used to manage resources and infrastructures (electrical networks, roads, etc.), and in marketing, archaeology, logistics, real estate asset management, facilities, environmental impact assessments and urban planning, civil protection and market analysis, to give just a few examples.
Over the past few years, the concept of smart cities has become more consolidated, and the application of GIS technologies in smart cities has helped improve the efficiency of municipal and territorial services. Today, both governments and the public can easily access geospatial data and thanks to GIS, find out how to reach their destination quickly, and at the same time reuse that data to provide traffic information for a wider audience, opening up a world of possibilities in the development of apps based on geolocation. Along with the realization of smart cities, new paradigms of govern ability and transparency are leading to the increasingly important growth of a wide range of open data, many of which are of high quality and potentially geo referenced, which it is necessary to understand and be able to operate.
Today, many techniques and services enable custom maps to be produced quickly and easily via the web. Knowledge of access to data sources in Open Data standards or in Spatial Data Infrastructures, visualization techniques and the various opportunities provided by new platforms for publishing maps should enable both expert and non-expert users to be able to produce dynamic and impressive maps.
The programme provides a robust training, skills for technical competence, technological and operational knowledge of current systems, practical skills, and experiences that enable development of the necessary skills for a professional career in the GIS field.
Some professional sectors (in both the public and private sector) which use GIS technologies are: local government, local mapping and GIS services, service companies, land registers, environmental consultancies, architects' and lawyers' offices, urban planning departments, market research companies, management of natural areas, marketing companies, real estate agencies, public transport, companies specializing in tourism management, transport fleet management, public works, network planning, engineering, in the field of precision
