SaIG (Science of Geographic Information) is a study program focused on spatial data analysis, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS) to support evidence-based decision-making across various sectors.

The SaIG program is designed to be completed in 4 years (8 semesters). The curriculum combines theoretical coursework, laboratory practice, and field research.

Graduates can pursue careers as GIS analysts, remote sensing specialists, urban planners, environmental consultants, or data scientists in government agencies, mining, agriculture, and technology sectors.

SaIG is part of FPIPS (Faculty of Social Science Education) at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). The faculty is located at Jl. Dr. Setiabudhi No. 229, Isola, Sukasari, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia 40154.

SaIG culture is built on five pillars that form a strong, unified ecosystem.

1. SaIG Grows Through Writing. Every activity — academic or student-led — is reflected and published as a written article. Writing is SaIG's primary branding instrument; it builds history and ensures achievements are preserved for future generations.

2. SaIG Advances Through Collaboration. Success is built through synergy among lecturers, students, staff, alumni, universities, communities, and the professional world. SaIG sees itself like a GIS: if one component fails, the shared vision cannot be achieved.

3. SaIG is Great Because It's a Trendsetter, Not a Follower. SaIG has the courage to create novelty and innovation in both curriculum and student organizations — pioneering rather than merely following trends, while remaining open to learning from any source.

4. SaIG Excels Through "SaIG Berlari" and "The Heart of Geospatial." SaIG Berlari (SaIG Runs) is an internal spirit driving everyone to achieve more every day. The Heart of Geospatial is SaIG's message to the world — that it is the heart of geospatial expertise, from data acquisition to visualization, managed with genuine dedication.

5. SaIG Matters Because of Love for Geography and Indonesia. SaIG was founded with a mission to advance geographical science — especially geospatial technology — and to contribute directly to Indonesia's national development through precise geospatial approaches.

SaIG Berlari! SaIG — The Heart of Geospatial.

Academic activities in the SaIG program maintain a 50:50 balance between classroom lectures and field-based learning. This balance is designed to produce skilled, work-ready analysts at the bachelor's level. As a result, nearly all courses require outputs that must be presented at the end of each semester.

Practical activities in the SaIG program include:
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Laboratory practice
• Physical Laboratory practice
• Field Practicum
• Field Work Courses I – III
• Field Experience Program (Program Pengalaman Lapangan)
