Department of Geoinformatics has a long term experience with teaching foreign students. Each semester, Palacký University welcomes hundrets of foreign exchange students and some of them study at our department.
Department of geoinformatics (KGI) offers each semester approximately 8 courses for ERASMUS+ students that are taught in English. Depending on the number of students, some of them are based on individual approach. Students are allowed to register also in courses managed by other geo-departments at the faculty – at the Department of Development and Environmental Studies (MRS), Department of Geography (KGG), and Department of Geology (KGE).
