The Master Program in Geospatial Technologies is definitely a great gateway to cutting-edge knowledge in geographic information science, remote sensing, GIS, and geographic data analysis, allowing to solve countless problems where the spatial context is relevant and essential.

The Master Program in Geospatial Technologies provides world-wide knowledge and practical skills, and prepares one to take on tasks in any global work environment. It includes a blend of inspiring international students and outstanding mentors, creating an intellectually challenging environment.

Following my degree in Information Systems and Technologies - where I discovered the fascinating area of Geospatial Technologies - and due to the prestige of NOVA IMS, the choice of this master's degree came naturally and immediately. The diversity of topics covered in the program has made this experience continually stimulating. The format of the theoretical-practical curricular units, with a strong focus on group projects, involved me in a real and tangible experience with the theoretical concepts. Moreover, studying in a multicultural environment and with strong professionals has given me a valuable perspective that transcends borders.

I had the opportunity to join this master's program, and I must admit that it was a pleasant discovery. The possibility of taking the course online, makes it possible to balance personal and professional life with academic pursuits, allowing the acquisition of essential knowledge for career development. The professors are highly qualified. As a very participative student, I initially thought that an online course might not work very well. However, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised; the classes were very dynamic, and the professors were available.
Additionally, the university's recognition and prestige give students a certain comfort and confidence, and boost their careers. The university also offers a range of services to help introduce students to the professional world, including webinars, fairs, and alumni mentoring programs.

20 years after I first enrolled in higher education, I decided to take a step forward and invest in my education and career. Analyzing current job offers in the GIS field revealed that mastering GIS software alone is not enough; analytical skills, as well as proficiency in databases and programming, are required. In this context, I sought a master's program with an updated curriculum, flexible enough to balance with work. I quickly concluded that, within the portuguese educational offerings, the program at NOVA IMS best met my expectations, offering a promising professional path. After one semester, I reflect positively on this master's degree, which has been both challenging and rewarding, allowing me to explore new techniques and methodologies. I look forward with anticipation to the contents of the next semester and to the construction of my thesis.

I found out about this master's program through a recommendation from a professional in the field. The opportunity to attend a high level distance learning master's course, that covers relevant and up-to-date aspects of Geographic Information Systems, allowed me to balance the demands of professional life with the course activities. Now, by sharing this testimony, I also hope to recommend it to aspiring students who wish to acquire theoretical and practical skills in the collection, storage, analysis, management and visualization of geospatial data. The faculty of the program was attentive to the needs and curricular situation of the master's students. In addition, I benefited from the services of the library team, which promptly provided me with articles and papers that I couldn't access through conventional searches.

The Master Program in Geographic Information Systems and Science focuses on the analysis, management and visualization of geospatial information, fundamental methods in a global and digital world. Geoinformation is transversal to all sciences and activities (economy, health, security) and its study motivates innovative approaches and the generation of new knowledge

When I was looking for a program in Geographic Information Systems that would allow me to grow and deepen knowledge, combining a solid theoretical training with a strong practical component, the Master Degree Program in Geographic Information Systems and Science came to me as “the reference". Exceeded expectations! The e-learning format, despite some initial skepticism, allowed me to manage the issue of distance and availability, in no way compromising the rigor and the demand. On the contrary. I found a diversified offer, with a faculty of recognized professional and academic merit, whose support was decisive for the completion of the program. Better yet, NOVA IMS’ experience and follow-up continue well beyond the end of the program!

The way they address the relevant issues in terms of subjects such as Environment, Spatial Planning and Urban Planning, as a resource to geographic information technologies, in addition to their contribution to society through scientific research, makes this Master Degree Program the most relevant at national level, which I felt proud to be part of!

The Master Program in Geographic Information Systems and Science, with an internationally recognized academic quality and associated with the availability of the latest technologies, is the best option to be at the forefront of Geographic Information Systems.

I joined this master's program after completing a Post-graduation in Smart and Sustainable Cities so that I could deepen my technical capacity to plan and execute this kind of urban data project. From the very beginning of my experience, I learned from many excellent instructors who provided concrete case studies and projects to complement their lectures. I was regularly challenged yet supported throughout my academic experience, and had the freedom to pursue projects of my own design to consolidate my learning. I was extremely lucky to have Professor Marco Painho as my thesis advisor, who not only provided thorough guidance, but also arranged for additional direction from other specialized professors to help me realize and deliver my thesis project. Ever since, I have continued to benefit from the resources of my alma mater, both enjoying access to the facilities, programs and minds that are helping me to transform my final project into a new business.

The Master Program in Geographic Information Systems and Science was fundamental to improve my skills in the several areas of Geographical and Cartographic Sciences. I was able to recycle knowledge previously acquired in order to improve my performance as a Geographer.

Once I decided to specialize in the application of Geographical Information for defense and security purposes, the postgraduate program in Geospatial Intelligence at NOVA IMS, certified by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), was the clear path for me to follow. The contents of this course, combined with the quality and know-how of the professors, were clearly a major factor in determining my career development. The course changed my life, and it all started at NOVA IMS.
