Summary
M. Storms - Chances for and threats to academic cartography
education
Keywords: cartographic training, history of cartography, stu-
dents
One of the major problems of the education programme in
cartography at the University of Utrecht is the Low number of
students that choose the subject. This is a serious threat to the
future of cartographic education at the university. In recent years
the number of courses has decreased. Therefore, it is of great
importance that potential students become enthusiastic for
education in the field of geographical information. The promotion
for geo-information can start at primary school with geography
programmes like the Internet Atlas of the Netherlands
(www. internetatlas. nl). At the secondary school level specialists in
the geo-information business can help with promotion. The
demand of educated geo-information specialists is high. Beside
that it is important that further educational institutes know what
is going on in the minds of students What influences the choices
students makeHow do students get information about different
coursesCooperation between different further educational
institutes that give courses in geographical information is
necessary. Some initiatives in this direction have already started.
For cartography in Utrecht the new Bachelor-Master structure
opens up new chances. The proportion of the course devoted to
optional subjects will increase, so the amount of potential
cartography students will grow too. Besides that it seems that the
number of cartographic courses will be more than in the current
Situation. If enough students become enthusiastic for cartography
there is hope for the future of academic education in cartography
in Utrecht. At this moment it is not sure whether the presentation
of the courses to possible students will lead to satisfactory results.
Another question is how the new structure of bachelor-master will
function.
