Organization
The School of Rural, Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in collaboration with the Schools of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, invites interested individuals to apply for participation in the “Geoinformatics” Interdepartmental Postgraduate Programme for the academic year 2025-2026.

Subject of Study
The Programme aims to empower engineers and other university graduates with specialized expertise in the dynamic and interdisciplinary field of Geoinformatics. It focuses on the vast potential of geospatial data, revolutionizing how we collect, georeference, interpret, map, manage and understand information related to our natural, artificial and socio-economic environment. Furthermore, it delves into spatial analysis and planning, and the development of various geospatial applications using cutting-edge methods and technologies, particularly in the field of Informatics.

Programme Structure
The Postgraduate Programme has a duration of at least three (3) semesters and corresponds to 90 ECTS credits. It starts in October of each year. The maximum duration of studies is two (2) years, calculated from the regular enrollment in the Programme (without considering the attendance of prerequisite courses, if required). The Programme includes core and specialization courses, as well as the completion of a master's thesis. Successful completion of the Programme leads to
the award of a Postgraduate Diploma (Master of Science) in Geoinformatics degree. The Postgraduate Programme requires full attendance during the week, i.e., on working days and hours.

Admission Criteria
The Postgraduate Programme admits:

• Graduates of Surveying/Geomatics/Geoinformatics Engineering and other Engineering disciplines from Greek Universities
• Graduates of other Greek Universities, primarily in the fields of Science and Technology
• Graduates from foreign universities recognised by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Centre – NARIC (DOATAP), primarily in the fields of Engineering, Science and Technology
• Final-year undergraduate students from the above university schools or departments, provided they graduate before the start of the program in October.

Applicants should have proven knowledge of the English language. Additionally, it is necessary to have knowledge of basic Computer Science concepts and preferably a programming language or a computing/programming tool.

For the academic year 2025-2026, the Postgraduate Programme in Geoinformatics will admit a minimum of 25 Postgraduate Students. Selection will be based on qualifications indicated in the submitted documentation, including diploma/degree grade, relevance to the scientific subject of the Programme, documentation of interest, experience, English language proficiency, computer science skills, and reference letters. Candidates may also be invited for a personal interview to further assess their suitability for the Programme and their ability to pursue postgraduate studies and research.

Tuition fees
• EU nationals: No tuition fees.
• Non-EU nationals: €500/semester.
