TACKLE LARGE-SCALE, COMPLEX, SOCIETAL CHALLENGES WITH THE USE OF SPATIAL DATA.
Sustainable access to sufficient food and water is essential for sustaining livelihoods. For part of the global population, this access can be ascertained by buying food, sometimes transported over large distances. However, the demands of a growing world population are increasingly hard to meet by finite natural resources. Unsustainable use of resources may result in land degradation or groundwater depletion, climate change and weather impacts can lower water availability and food production, and conflicts may arise between stakeholders on how to share resource access and use.
Master's Spatial Engineering
The Master’s programme Spatial Engineering prepares you to address these problems by combining technical and socio-economic knowledge with a strong basis of spatial data analysis and modelling.
Is this programme right for me?
Do you have a strong affinity with technology and systems, and are you inspired by large-scale, complex challenges? Are you a creative thinker willing and able to look beyond the obvious solutions? Are you eager to engage with what is happening in our world, and to use your skills to make our planet more sustainable? If so, the Master’s programme in Spatial Engineering at the University of Twente may be just up your street.
