[First published: July 14, 2017; Last updated: March 3, 2020]

Are you thinking about pursuing Master’s in GIS, Remote Sensing or Geoscience? Never think twice, we have
made a comprehensive list of many universities for Master’s in GIS, Geo-informatics, and related fields. The
courses form a spectrum ranging from GIS to Geoengine or from Applied Science to Geoscience.

To make things much simpler, we have mapped them across the globe. Check the interactive map below and
get to know the name of universities, the course offered, location, and the link to the course site. Interested
in programming? A widget on the right side of the map can help you filter courses containing programming
and non-programming subjects. Country-based filtering is also facilitated by the Country’s widget.

Recommended: Free online GIS courses to help you upskill during COVID-19 lockdown

What are you waiting for? Go on, stop peeping, and jump into the map. You can also view the map here, for
a whole window view.

If you think we missed out listing a particular masters’ program. Please do get in touch with us
