Cartography

Specialization Cartography focuses mainly on learning how to draw up plans and maps at various scales. Alongside general maps, students learn the rules for the preparation of thematic maps, three-dimensional models, simulation models of critical situations - natural and technogenic risks, documents that are increasingly used in contemporary practical activities. An important role falls on topographic knowledge regarding techniques for land survey, which are necessary to map elaboration.
In three years of study students work with modern equipment, optical-mechanical and electronic, GPS, satellite images and specific data processing software.
The main objectives of the programme pursue their training and education in courses, seminars, practical work, so as on graduation they would be able to carry out all works and activities mentioned above (topographical surveys, maps, spatial models etc.).
Skilled cartographers and surveyors are often working as self-employed, they can pursue careers in the fields of development, design, planning, construction, surveying, as employees in state institutions or various private companies.
