Why this programme?

• Benefit from a joint degree that gives you the best of 4 partner universities
• Blended learning concept - between the contact periods when you are physically present at each of the partner university you study from the place where you think you can study best (e.g. home, library or at the campus). This gives a lot of flexibility of how you organise your study and combine it with another side activities.
• The unique aspect of the program is its focus, not only on the concepts and applications of geo-information science but also on the management of spatial data infrastructures and projects related to geo-information applications.
