Why this postgraduate course?
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a series of components that come together to form a whole unit: hardware, tools and geographic data. The tools are designed to capture, store, analyse and display geographically referenced information. Today, this information is very important because it is a strategic asset that provides modern organizations with knowledge and added value. 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.
No single tool is used for graphic exploitation. Instead, despite working mainly with ArcGIS, the aim is to clearly convey the concepts and enable the student to use the various tools on the market indiscriminately (QGIS, gvSIG, etc.). The practical sessions will cover the functionalities of ArcGIS in depth, and QGIS will be studied after this knowledge has been consolidated.
We will also look at "where we are heading" and the evolution of geographic information systems. What do the concepts of big data and smart cities entail?
Students will use Carto, MapBox and Leaflet to publish and display data from several sources, e.g. from social networks and Open Data repositories. In order to do this, they must be able to access the data sources, use visualization techniques and the various possibilities provided by the new platforms for publishing maps. Maps customized via web will be created quickly and easily using techniques and services that will be covered on the course.
How many shops do I have within 100 m? What is the impact of UBER in Barcelona? These questions can be answered by students taking this module, since they will be able to create a web application and implement geolocation functionalities when they learn to work with Carto.
The postgraduate course in GIS Technologies aims to teach students the entire method of creating a GIS from the very beginning, i.e. starting from the source and creation of graphic data, followed by the exploitation and analysis of those data with the appropriate tools, and finally creating GIS web applications. At the end of the course, students will be able to publish and visualize data from many sources, such as data from social networks.
Promoted by:
Aims
- To distinguish between different formats and sources of graphic information (vector, raster, autoCAD, shape, etc.).
- To use the various tools on the market both for work on mapping (MicroStation) and for exploiting information (ArcGIS, QGIS) and to visualise it on the web (learning to create web pages with HTML, CSS and Javascript).
- To generate a result based on the capture or loading of the data (themed maps, printouts, reports).
- To provide basic programming skills.
- To create small web pages presenting the GIS solution designed.
- To create applications for web visualisation of data.
- To configure map servers.
Who is it for?
In theory, any professional wishing to work with data with a geospatial component is qualified to take the master's degree, and as such its students can come very diverse and numerous fields.
- Graduates from social sciences degree courses fields such as economics, geography, politics, journalism, social sciences, archaeology, etc.
- Graduates from scientific and technological degree courses such as physical and environmental sciences, biology, geology, topography, geodesy, etc.
- Architects and technical engineers.
- Civil engineers and public works technical engineers.
- Industrial engineers from various specialist fields.
- Telecommunications and computer engineers and their technical specialist fields.
- Professionals specializing in cooperation and development.
- Professionals in the health, agriculture, tourism, business, etc. sectors.
- Specialist in regional management and administration in the public or private sector.
- Business managers, strategy managers and entrepreneurs wishing to explore new business opportunities in this field.
