The objective of the MSc programme Geo-Information Science is to educate graduates in becoming skilled geo-information scientists with the competences to analyze the usability of geo-information in complex spatial problems and to develop innovative and interdisciplinary solutions. Geo-information has become an important societal commodity. Our graduates are able to critically evaluate this commodity and add value by deriving additional quantitative and qualitative information, and analyzing, modelling and visualizing the resulting geodata. Integrating the use of Earth Observation techniques and Geographical Information Systems towards the design of integrated monitoring systems is a special asset of the Wageningen approach. The MGI programme focuses on geo-spatial problems related to the mission of the university 'to explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life'. Examples include supporting the decision making process in environmental and agricultural management, integrated land monitoring, optimizing food production and distribution and analyzing changing human-space interactions. \nThe programme prepares the students to function academically in a professional, interdisciplinary and international environment.
