Overview
This 30-credit Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees (DESS) develops the technological skills needed for geospatial data processing and for land management and monitoring. It targets graduates from disciplines such as geography, urban planning, environmental science, geology, biology, forestry, computer science, engineering, or marketing, teaching geomatics tools and methods through a practice-oriented format in which each three-hour theoretical class is followed by a two-hour lab session. The program can be completed full-time in three trimesters or part-time in six trimesters, with day and evening course options and largely in-person, laboratory-based instruction. Enrollment is capped at 21 full-time-equivalent students, and admission is offered in the fall term only.
