03.3.2020

[First published: July 14, 2017; Last updated: March 3, 2020]

Are you thinking about pursuing Master’s in GIS, Remote Sensing or Geoscience? Never think twice, we have made a comprehensive list of many universities for Master’s in GIS, Geo-informatics, and related fields. The courses form a spectrum ranging from GIS to Geoengine or from Applied Science to Geoscience.

To make things much simpler, we have mapped them across the globe. Check the interactive map below and get to know the name of universities, the course offered, location, and the link to the course site. Interested in programming? A widget on the right side of the map can help you filter courses containing programming and non-programming subjects. Country-based filtering is also facilitated by the Country’s widget.

What are you waiting for? Go on, stop peeping, and jump into the map. You can also view the map here, for a whole window view.
