Content

The prime purpose of the Advanced GIS course is to widen your knowledge and skills in the practical – foremost analytical – application of Geographical Information Systems using raster models and spatial network models. As a consequence, a substantial part of the course consists of practical assignments in which you train your skills in GIS analysis. At the same time, you will start your own analytical GIS project on planing a new road in Friesland. The practical assignments are partly integrated with the project. You will work together with one or two fellow students, directly applying your new skills in the project. The project is concluded with two reports on progress and outcomes (maps, charts, etc.).

Please note

All lectures and supervised practicals take place in time slot C, extra GISlab time is booked in time slot A for unsupervised practical and Project work only.
The maximum capacity of this course is 64 participants. When the maximum capacity is exceeded selection will take place.
