Dear GIScience Colleagues
I’d be most grateful if you could re-distribute below flyer to advertise our brand new MSc program in GIScience to potentially interested colleagues and target group candidates. More information about this is also available at www.geo.uzh.ch
Deadline for applications to start the program in Fall 2016 is already: January 31, 2016.
Many thanks and best wishes for a rewarding end of year season,

Specialized Master in Geographic Information Science (GIScience)
Increasing urbanization and mobility; multiple social networks and health data; accelerating climate change and natural disasters; all of these bring with them fundamental research challenges and ever increasing volumes of spatial data.
Geographic Information Science (GIScience for short) is at the core of research on theories, methods and tools to analyze and understand events, patterns and processes occurring in space and time.
By studying GIScience you will learn the fundamental properties of (geographic) space; how to model space; how to analyze spatial and temporal processes and relationships; how to deal with spatial data; and how to measure and interpret spatial behavior.
After finishing your degree you will be an expert in spatial data handling and analysis, data visualization, and geocomputation. You will be able to find exciting, challenging positions in academia, industry, and government.
