PM and M.Sc. in Urban Planning and Land Administration (UPLA) by ITC, The Nitherlands
ITC,is offering PM and
M.Sc. in Urban Planning and Land administration. ITC is
based in The Netherlands.
The aim of the programme is to improve the institutional capacity of organisations dealing with urban planning, land administration and the management of urban infrastructure using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as tools for data capture and analysis.
Through the programme, participants will be able to analyse urban planning, land administration and infrastructure processes and develop solutions to problems encountered in areas such as housing, land supply & administration and infrastructure development. This can only be done when good quality data are available. GIS and RS are infective instruments for data capture, processing and communication within urban planning and management processes. An education at ITC will offer a unique blend of the technical skills required with theory and methods in urban planning to apply both successfully in any organisation.

ITC develops and transfers knowledge on Geoinformation Management for sustainable development
 One of mankind's greatest challenges is achieving an appropriate balance between the development of natural resources and maintaining an optimal natural environment. To meet this challenge, we need detailed and reliable geoinformation and geoinformation management tools. At the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC), knowledge of geoinformation management is amply available, and continually being developed and extended. By means of education, research and consulting, we contribute to capacity building in the developing world. In doing this, much attention is paid to the development and application of geographic information systems for solving problems. These problems can range from determining the risks of landslides and mapping forest fires to designing a good wildlife management system and detecting minefields.
 'Geoinformation management', 'world-wide' and 'innovative' are our key words. We concentrate on earth observation, the generation of spatial information and on the development of data integration methods. We provide tools that can support the processes of planning and decision making for sustainable development and the alleviation of poverty in developing countries. ITC has offices in Enschede and Delft. Since 1950 more than 15000 students from over 150 countries have followed one of ITC's 40 courses. ITC offers 6 degree programmes, leading to PhD, MSc and PM degrees as well as shorter diploma and certificate courses and tailor-made courses. Within those 6 programmes students can specialise themselves in different directions through specialisation and electives modules.
