Overview
This PhD program covers the acquisition, management, and dissemination of geospatial information, including geographic information systems, satellite imagery, 3D modelling, mobile cartography, LIDAR, photogrammetry, and land administration. The program comprises 90 credits and takes an estimated four years of full-time study, with coursework combining daytime and distance formats. Université Laval offers training at all three study cycles in the geomatics domain. Graduates work as specialists, managers, and researchers in fields such as environmental protection, health, agriculture, civil security, and transportation, applying GPS, remote sensing, spatial databases, and cadastral systems. Admission requires a master's degree in a field relevant to geomatics, or an equivalent diploma, with a cumulative master's average of at least 3.00 out of 4.33, and a confirmed research supervisor before applying.

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a master's degree in a field relevant to geomatics sciences (for example geomatics, geography, biology, forestry, mathematics, computer science, or urban planning), or an equivalent diploma, with a cumulative average of at least 3.00 out of 4.33 for their master's-level studies. A professor in the program must confirm, in writing, acceptance to direct the applicant's research before an admission offer can be issued.
