From the University of Valencia we offer students with a scientific-technological base and future vision, an university degree of second cycle that provides them with a regulated training in a discipline that up until now wasn't: remote sensing.

Thirty years of research activity in remote sensing applications, six research units working in matters related to this subject and a wide doctor team that has dedicated their teaching capacity to the training of remote sensing students. This is the basis of our training offer.

For a society that requires global resource management tools, the answer is the use of remote sensing to obtain information about our environment, which will allow us a greater and better understanding of the same.

Whichever the base university training of the student that is admitted to the Master's Degree, the competences that they acquires will serve to improve their professional developments. As there is a demand for experts that know the treatments that should be applied to digital information, which is constantly provided to us by the sensors installed on satellites that are launched to space, to extract reliable and useful information from them. And this is a field of the professional exercise with continuity in time.
