The advances of technology have significantly improved life, provided easier access to information and have had numerous benefits for businesses in many sectors, one of which is Geoscience. Geoinformation uses geospatial information technology to gather, analyze and store geospatial data. Some of the most obvious applications of Geoninformation can be observed in car navigation systems and bird’s eye view or street view maps (e.g., Google Maps) where detailed and accurate information about urban and natural sites is stored and accessed daily. University degree programs in Geoinformation typically teach subjects like Geodetic Surveying, Urban Planning, Geodesy, Database Technology, Computer Programming, Mathematical Statistics, Geo-information Systems Engineering, Remote Sensing and Land Monitoring, Human-Space Interactions and others. A degree course in Geoinformation gives students in-depth knowledge and profound understanding of how geospatial information is recorded, processed and visualized and how it can be efficiently used to solve geographic or logistical issues. It also helps develop students’ logical and critical-thinking, problem-solving, communication, analytical, planning and project management skills. Potential career paths that Geoinformation graduates can follow include positions in geoinformation analysis, system design and administration, mapping, surveying, system maintenance and more.
