This professional degree aims to train cartographers specialised in the environment, rural areas or mountains. At the crossroads of geography and computer science, the geographer exploits all the data related to a geographical area. He/she intervenes in all sectors that need data representation and spatial analysis: urban planning, environment, transport, energy, marketing, tourism.
This essentially technical training introduces students to a wide range of computer tools, such as ArcGis, QGis, GRASS, Geoconcept, Illustrator, Inkscape, Autocad, PostGis, Wamp, Modalisa, the MySQL and Python languages and other free or open source tools. The acquisition of general and theoretical knowledge is based on concrete case studies (landscape, risk and climate studies, etc.) with references to current public policies, data law - INSPIRE directive, etc. The course includes several outings to meet territories, landscapes, public and professional actors. The geomatician will learn how to find his or her way in the mid-range mountains, to carry out GPS surveys, to extract from the terrain all relevant information to be analysed and mapped.

How are the studies organized?
- The Professional Licence is organised in a skills-based approach. It is accessible by alternation only: professionalization contract, apprenticeship contract, VAE and Continuing Education. The educational programme is 450 hours of classes for alternating students.
- The search for a work-study contract is the responsibility of the candidate. The pedagogical secretariat has a list of work-study offers.
- In continuing education, the alternation is not mandatory but replaced by a tutor project (equivalent to 150h) during the periods in the company, and by an internship of a minimum duration of 12 weeks from 1 April.
- The LP SIG is small in number (18 students), with a strong heterogeneity of profiles. The mutual aid is strong, a diversity that favours changes, a specificity between each of these future technicians geacute;omaticians.
- Rhythm of alternation: 3 short periods in the company of 3 weeks with 4 weeks at the IUT, and from mid-March onwards in continuous training.
-
Internships, work-study and supervised projects
- Tutorial projects carried out between September and March by groups of students monitored by teachers, in response to a concrete professional demand from local actors: experimentation and application of lessons. Thesis and oral defense.
- The teachings are based on real GIS databases, on case studies in land use planning, in environment. All courses are oriented on techniques and methods of expertise in geomatics, data collection, projects.
-
International mobility
Work experience abroad during higher education is no longer available for continuing education, it is now possible to go on an internship as an apprentice.
The apprentice or employee on a professionalisation contract can carry out part of their contract abroad. For periods of mobility, the company has the possibility of "putting the work-study student's employment contract on hold" for a limited and predetermined period corresponding to the duration of his or her training within a partner company or university or a host organisation located abroad.
