Master of Geoinformation Science and Smart Cities was established in 2004 by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2022 QS ranking #38). It offered by Department of Geography and Resource Management.
It is an inter-disciplinary field that involves earth science, information science, and system science. Its focuses are the information of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere and more specifically their formation, changes and interrelations.
With the human-land relationship as the theme, with catering for global change research and regional sustainable development as the objective, geoinformation science integrates satellite application, remote sensing, geographic information system, computer-aided design and cartography, multi-media and virtual reality techniques and the internet to establish a scientific structure for high-speed information digitization and effective resource management.
In view of the above-mentioned facts, the present programme is designed to provide a solid conceptual framework and technical know-how for practicing professionals and officials by enhancing their skills and equipping their hands-on experience. It will also introduce the state-of-the-art geo-spatial information technologies and provide students with the capability to manage and apply the latest technologies to solve real life problems.
Introduction
