Qualification Requirements and Regulations
Qualification Requirements:
Finished higher education in Bachelor's degree programme.
Regulations:
The Czech educational system is regulated by the Higher Education Act (Act 111/1998). Studies at VSB-TUO are regulated by the Statute of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava.
Profile of the Branch
The aim is to prepare graduates who master professional subject matters from the sphere of geoinformatics and geoinformation technologies at the level that enables the creation of new applications of geoinformation technologies, project management and the management and administration of geoinformation systems, the implementation of the advanced analysis, and search for new ways to solve different spatial problems. Graduates can work for both the state and local governments as well as in the private sector (manager of the utilities, transport undertakings, companies involved in the collection and distribution of geodata, etc.). They can aplly for job also in academic and research institutions
Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
Graduates are equipped with the knowledge from the area of digital processing of remote sensing data, planning of applications of geoinformation technologies, advanced methods of gathering, storing, analyzing, and publishing of data, modelling and simulation of geosciences problems, and from the area of entrepreneurship and management.
Skills:
The graduate can plan and manage the application of geoinformation technologies and large databases of geodata, creating algorithms for the spatial problems solving, apply advanced statistical methods of processing of data, collaborate in creating models and simulation of spatial processes and in the use of geoweb technology.
General competencies:
The graduate can act in the role of the commercial agent, analyst for the needs of applications development and as geodata analyst, manager of large scale applications and databases of data, geoweb technology manager (mapservers and servers of geoweb services).
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
The aim of the course is both theoretical and practical mastering of geoinformation technologies, including the creation of their applications for practice. After study of theoretical subjects, who create a mathematical and physical basis of study, students obtain knowledge from geoinformation technologies in specialized subjects. Study is designed to provide students the possibilities of the applications in the field of companies and public institutions, concerned with the production and the development of applications of geoinformation technologies, used to support the business activities of end-users, and also in the area of building and managing large-scale applications of geoinformation technologies in organizations. Graduates may also find job in academic and research institutions, or they may continue in their studies.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
