ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The Remote Sensing & Geographic Information Systems (RS&GIS) Field of Study (FoS) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) was established in 1990 offering doctoral, master’s, and post-graduate diplomas and certificate studies in Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS). Starting from a research program it has become a recognized education, training, and research program satisfying the need of the region for state-of-the-art technology.
The curriculum is designed to address the theoretical aspects and practical application of space technology, especially in Remote Sensing, GIS, and GNSS. It provides students ample time and scope to gain practical experience with spatial data through laboratory sessions. Students are trained to understand the structure and characteristics of digital spatial data, its capture through airborne and spaceborne sensors; handling of big Geo data; processing, analysis, and extraction of information by digital tools, GIS, and cloud-based applications; visualizing and disseminating through web and location-based services to secure optimal use of the extracted information.
Further, coping with the demand, open-source geoinformatics is practiced along with commercially available platforms for spatial data handling and analysis.
Major areas covered in the coursework are remote sensing and GIS at a fundamental and advanced level, earth energy interaction, geometric and atmospheric corrections, application potential in various disciplines, geostatistics, geospatial modeling, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data acquisition, aerospace technology, InSAR fundamentals and processing, GNSS data acquisition, WebGIS, Location-based services, and integration of GIS, remote sensing and GNSS.

FAQs
Question :
Can I apply to two Academic Programs at the same time?
Answer :
No. You can only apply to one academic program at any time.
Question :
Do you have academic exchange programs and scholarships for those?
Answer :
2 Year Master’s Degree students normally study for 22 months (enrolled in August Intake) and 24 months (enrolled in January Intake) which includes four semesters, two short breaks and one long break between semesters. Doctoral students study for at least 42 months or seven semesters. 1-year Master, Professional Master Program and the Diploma Programs are at least 12 months or two semesters and the Certificate Program is 5 months or one semester.
Question :
What are Unified programs?
Answer :
Unified Programs integrate undergraduate studies with graduate studies into a seamless “Unified” program. For example, undergraduate students may join AIT in their final year to complete their undergraduate degree and at the same time start their Master program at AIT. AIT has several Unified programs with partner universities managed by Office of Special Degree Program.
Question :
What is the AIT English Entry Test (AIT-EET)?
Answer :
The Language Center (LC) offers a 90-minute in-house test of English proficiency called the AIT English Entry Test (EET). The score is based on a nine-point scale similar to the IELTS test. The Writing score, which is the most important at AIT, is based on an essay. The test result will be e-mailed within 7 days. The LC will report the test result to the AIT Admissions only if the score is satisfactory for provisional admission. If applicants fail to obtain the minimum score requirements for admission, they may take the test again.
Question :
Will you waive my admission interviews since I was admitted last year but chose not to register?
Answer :
No. As the application assessment varies from each intake, your application in the next intake must be as competitive as those with others applying in that same intake.
Question :
Do I need to apply for the scholarships listed on the website?
Answer :
You do not need to apply separately for the scholarships. Once you have submitted the application online, your will be automatically considered for all scholarships for which the deadline has not expired and for which you are eligible. The type and amount of scholarship given to applicants is on a competitive basis with the main criteria of academic standing. Should you wish to be considered for full scholarships, you must submit an Official English score of 6 including writing and overall that is not older than 2 years.
Question :
How much is the application processing fee?
Answer :
The processing fee is Baht 800 or US$25.
Question :
If I apply and accepted this intake, can I defer to the next intake with the same condition?
Answer :
Yes, you can defer your entry until the next academic semester. However, the financial conditions of the admission may change depending on the competitive assessment for the next semester. You are also required to pay the application processing fee to reactivate your admission.
Question :
When is the school intake and the application deadline?
Answer :
The AIT academic year consists of two semesters: January and August for School of Engineering and Technology (SET) and School of Environment Resources and Development (SERD).
