Program details

Overview

This graduate diploma develops expertise in emerging geomatics fields, including geographic information systems, remote sensing, spatial modelling, and dynamic cartography, combining theoretical grounding with practical technical skills. The 30-credit programme applies these tools to real-world challenges in human and physical geography, and is delivered full-time or part-time through day courses at the Complexe des sciences on the MIL campus in Montreal, with a minimum full-time completion of two trimesters and a maximum of twelve trimesters, admission in the Fall term. Coursework builds competencies in spatial-data analysis, cartographic design, and geospatial technologies, combining hands-on laboratory work with project-based application to environmental and urban case studies. Graduates are prepared for roles in geomatics consulting, urban and environmental planning, government mapping agencies, and remote-sensing analysis, or for further graduate study in geography and related fields.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent from a recognized institution in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada, or internationally. Admission is based on a qualitative review of the applicant's file rather than a fixed minimum grade average.
