A geographic information system (GIS) is used to collect, manage, analyse, and present spatial data. This course teaches the theoretical foundations and concepts and provides hands-on experience on practice-relevant examples, using ArcGIS Pro software.After completing the course, students will be able to work out solutions to simple GIS problems on their own.

This course engrosses the close to practice application of geographic information systems by means of self-dependent case study (project work), being handled by small teams.The students elaborate a project schedule, conceive an analysis workflow, effect a multi-stage analysis within the context of an environmental problem and present their results to the course plenum.
