Build a professional project by choosing a sector of activity in the field of planning or the environment and by planning a career development. 3. Be able to install a work environment adapted to geomatics in a structure, even if it does not have one. Carry out a software watch in geomatics. Carry out studies that combine technical and thematic knowledge. 4. Be able to solve a given problem and for that: discern, find and critically analyze the necessary geographical data, then choose and carry out the appropriate geomatics processing. 5. Know how to produce in French, in writing or orally, a rigorous presentation of the analysis and its result by mastering the geomatics vocabulary in French and English for the understanding of technical texts. 6. As a group, take responsibility for a geomatics project and complete it within the allotted time.

Specificities:
The diploma is structured in semesters with 480 hours of lectures, tutorials and projects. It includes 8 teaching units: "Analysis of geographical space" teaches the basics of geographical science. “Geomatics Initiation” teaches knowledge of geographic data and geomatics software.
