The Master’s in Cartology and Geography Information System at Northeast Normal University (NENU) in Changchun, China is a three‑year, full‑time academic graduate program offered by the School of Geographical Sciences that leads to a Master’s degree in Cartology and Geographic Information Systems. It is officially listed among NENU’s English‑taught master’s programs for international students in the university’s 2026 graduate catalog, with a standard duration of 3 years and an annual tuition fee of about ¥23,000 CNY for science majors.

This program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in cartography (the science and art of map design) and geographic information systems (GIS), blending rigorous coursework, technical training, and independent research. Core areas of study typically include map design and visualization, spatial data acquisition and processing (including remote sensing and GPS techniques), GIS theory and applications, spatial analysis, and geospatial database management. Students learn how to collect, analyze, interpret, and visualize spatial information, developing both theoretical understanding and practical competence with industry‑standard tools and software used in spatial science.
