The goal of this program is to train Cartographers with a professional cartographic approach based on high level theoretical and practical knowledge.
This program is recommended to applicants who wants to able to manage and coordinate cartographic and geoinformatic research projects as well as to have the knowledge and skills to solve traditional cartographic or information technology-based problems.
This program provides students with a broad scale of knowledge in Cartography and Geoinformatics in combination with geography, other earth sciences, information technology, database management, web-based mapping services, etc. Students acquire the theory as well as the methodologies in the development and implementation of the latest visualization technics.
Cartography has become a modern and practical science again with the development of computerization. However, only few higher education institutions offer this training at master level.
The high standard of the training is guaranteed by the highly qualified academic staff. Several of the teachers are involved in the leadership of national and international professional organizations of the related area and in editorial boards of journals in the field. Teaching is supported by modern infrastructure and well-equipped labs. Upper-year students and PhD students help the first-year students in a mentor system to overcome their first challenges at the university.

Government offices, administration in local governments, research institutions, mapping agencies, archives and private firms need a growing number of cartographers who have a solid background of geoinformatics. Business companies which have a strong involvement in various visualization problems (in print or in three-dimensions) are definitely interested in employing our young cartographers. Also decision-makers often need the GIS support for understanding the spatial relationship of features and social or natural phenomena.
Cartographer at national mapping agencies, in land registration, at private companies, publishers, geoinformatical firms.

Procedure of the entrance examination
The applicants receive the test questions (20 to 25 questions in English) by e-mail. Most of the questions include a figure or a map. Here the task is to give a short evaluation of the figures or maps, analyze them or make calculations. These questions test the skills and practical knowledge of the applicant. Other questions focus on the professional orientation and theoretical knowledge of the applicant. The answers should not be more than a few sentences.
The test questions and the answer sheet are compiled by the Head of Department and the Departmental Coordinator. The questions are designed in a way that the applicant can answer them only if the applicant has had previous studies in the field. Each correct answer to the question has the same score.
