Master of Science Program in Remote Sensing Science and Technology

The Master of Science Program in Remote Sensing Science and Technology offered at the Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR) of the National Central University is the only of its kind in Taiwan, uniquely designed for education and research formulated in two groups: Remote Sensing (RS) Group and Geoinformatics (Geoinfo) Group. The Remote Sensing Group focuses on the fundamentals of remote sensing science and application development, including active and passive remote sensing data acquisition, processing, and analysis. The Geoinformatics Group covers 3S: remote sensing, geographic information systems, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems; including acquisition, processing, and analysis of geo-information and their integrated applications.
