A. GRADUATE PROFILE
“To become an expert in geographic remote sensing capable of utilizing geographic information systems to enhance their general skills in solving spatial, environmental, and regional issues.”
B. CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
The curriculum of the Master in Remote Sensing at the Faculty of Geography Universitas Gadjah Mada focuses on processing, analysis and spatial modelling of urban, agriculture, forestry, disaster, natural resource management, and other applications using remote sensing data. This programme offers two program streams: regular and by-research programs. Students taking the regular program are required to take a minimum of 44 SKS (98 ECTS) to graduate and 38-40 SKS (108-110 ECTS) for the by-research program. The regular program takes more course credit than the by-research program. In contrast, the by-research program has more research components than the regular program.

D. DEFICIENCY
The Remote Sensing Master’s study program organizes proficiency activities for new students. Deficiency activities are intended so that each student gets basic knowledge of geography. This is because the Master of Remote Sensing can accept students from various scientific disciplines. Students who are required to make up for deficiencies are students with backgrounds other than Bachelor of Cartography and Remote Sensing. Deficiencies are carried out 1 week before lectures start. The following is a list of Deficiency courses (Table 6).
Tabel 6. Mata Kuliah Defisiensi
| No. | Subject | Course Material |
| 1 | Earth Sciences | Introduction to Geology, Geomorphology, Hydrology, Climatology /Meterology and Soil |
