Currently, specialists in the field of cartography and geoinformatics are engaged in geospatial activities, which is understood as the entire spectrum of work related to solving various problems and automating production processes that have a spatial component, based on geoknowledge obtained and used with the help of the most modern end-to-end technologies of the digital economy.

The main objects of professional activity (or areas of knowledge) are scientific research requiring the application of fundamental and applied knowledge and skills, including in the field of cartography, geoinformatics and related disciplines; cartographic and geoinformation production; sets of spatial and non-spatial data; Earth remote sensing data and technologies for creating space products and providing space services based on them; natural and man-made geosystems; protection of the environment and natural resources, environmental safety; cadastral systems of complex and sectoral types.
When studying in this profile, students acquire new competencies necessary for carrying out research and applied work in the cartographic and geoinformation industry; implementation of the concept of digital twins based on geoinformation multidimensional digital spatial modeling.
Duration of full-time study - 2 years
Duration of study by correspondence - 2 years 6 months
Strengthening the practical focus of training is aimed at preparing a specialist who is flexible, has critical thinking, is ready to work in new (innovative) conditions, is able to learn throughout his life, navigate new technologies, apply knowledge in practice, and, therefore, without adaptation, join in professional activities and successfully carry them out.
Practice is organized and conducted in close cooperation with organizations for which specialists are trained and is aimed at familiarizing students with the types of future professional activities, obtaining practical skills and abilities, and gaining experience in performing work. Practical training is provided by modern computer equipment, software, equipment, and a collection of cartographic works.
