TERI School of Advanced Studies - Masters and Ph.D in Delhi

Master of Science in Geoinformatics at TERI SAS is a two years interdisciplinary program for students who want to develop expertise in and applying geospatial technologies to solve world's most pressing real-world challenges in environmental, social and economic domains. Geoinformatics is a rapidly evolving field that brings meaningful insights to solve real world problems by bringing together technologies and tools required for acquisition, exploration, visualization, analysis and integration of various spatial data. There are several components of Geoinformatics that include cartographic geovisualization, GIS, Remote sensing, photogrammetry, spatial statistics, geostatistics, multivariate statistics and other advanced tools and techniques. The core strength of the programme lies in its innovative curriculum that imbues present and future professionals on development and the use of cutting-edge geospatial technologies to emulate real-life problems. Over the period of two years, students gain sound knowledge in the scientific principles behind computational and analytical foundation of Geoinformatics as well as its applications in domains such as conservation biology, urban planning, meteorology and natural resource management through hands-on exercises, training programmes, 8 weeks summer internship, independent study and a semester long major project.
