Introduction to Postgraduate Education of Remote Sensing in China

In China, for many general colleges and universities, the postgraduate programs related to remote sensing are the subdisciplines named Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, and Geographical Environment Remote Sensing. Totally, there are 125 and 67 colleges and universities which offer the related programs with the master's and doctoral degrees, respectively. In this paper, we introduce the objective and requirement, as well as the training mode of the related postgraudate programs. After years of development, the remote sensing education in China has ranked among the best in the world. In the future, encouraged by a series of policies and measures of the Ministry of Education of China, the remote sensing education will develop faster and better, and make greater contributions to China and the world.
