Overview

Abstract
Professional Bachelor’s Study Programme “Geoinformatic and Remote Sensing” is designed to obtain knowledge and skills of information technology tools, application of remote sensing technologies and development of geospatial solutions in:

agriculture,
forestry,
transport logistics,
land spatial administration,
crisis management spatial organization.
Students get a professional, practice-oriented education that gives them the opportunity to enter the labour market, as well as to carry out scientific research work, which would allow graduates to start practical activities in geoinformatics and remote sensing after completing the study program in the field of agriculture, forestry, transport logistics, land spatial administration and crisis management spatial organization.
