About this program

What this degree covers and what you can expect from the university.

This full-time English-taught Master of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing programme is delivered by the State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing at Wuhan University, a world-leading research institution in the field of geospatial information science. The programme focuses on photogrammetry theory and technology, remote sensing data processing and application, satellite remote sensing, aerial photogrammetry and 3D spatial information acquisition. Major research directions include digital photogrammetry, remote sensing image processing and analysis, satellite 
remote sensing application, aerial and close-range photogrammetry, 3D reconstruction and spatial information modeling. The programme aims to cultivate high-level international talents in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing, who master systematic theoretical knowledge, possess engineering design, experimental analysis, project practice and scientific research innovation capabilities. The curriculum includes advanced postgraduate core courses in photogrammetry and remote sensing, characteristic elective modules, frontier academic seminars, laboratory experimental training, field surveying practice, supervisor-led research project participation and master thesis research work. Representative core courses include Advanced Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing Image Processing, Satellite Remote Sensing Application, Aerial Photogrammetry, 3D Reconstruction Technology, Geospatial Information Research Methodology and Technical Thesis Writing. During the 2-year full-time study, students need to complete all 
compulsory and elective credit requirements, participate in domestic and international academic conferences in the field, finish laboratory experimental training and field surveying practice, take part in faculty-managed research projects and accumulate engineering practice experience. Every admitted student receives one-on-one academic supervision from faculty supervisors. Under supervisor guidance, students complete literature retrieval and review, research scheme design, experimental scheme debugging, test-data collection and analysis, research-result sorting and academic-paper drafting, and finally complete original master thesis and pass thesis defence. Applicants shall provide authenticated bachelor-degree certificate and complete official academic transcript issued by accredited higher-education institutions. Applicants with surveying and mapping, remote sensing, geographic information or other related STEM backgrounds get priority in admission assessment. Non-native English-speaking 
applicants need valid English-proficiency certificates (IELTS 6.0 or above, TOEFL 80 or above). Applicants who have completed full-degree programmes fully delivered in English can apply for language-score exemption by submitting official supporting documents for university internal review. Applicant age generally should not exceed 35 years old, and physical-mental health condition must satisfy medical-examination criteria for Chinese student-visa application. After finishing all curriculum assessment requirements and successfully passing thesis defence, graduates obtain official master-degree diploma awarded by Wuhan University. Graduates can engage in photogrammetry, remote sensing data processing, geospatial information engineering work in global surveying and mapping enterprises, research institutes, geographic information institutions, or pursue further PhD-level academic study worldwide.
