Education objectives
The International Master Program (Master of Science, M.Sc.) in Geospatial Technologies is a cooperation of:
- Universidade Nova de Lisboa (NOVA), NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Lisboa, Portugal;
- University of Münster (WWU), Institute for Geoinformatics (IFGI), Münster, Germany;
- Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Castellon, Spain.
This Master Program has been selected by the Erasmus Mundus Program of the European Commission as one of the most excellent Master Programs in Europe.
The three-semester English-speaker Masters program will enroll up to 32 students per year, starting in the Fall Semester of the academic year 2015/16.
The first semester at NOVA IMS offers different learning paths, addressing the previous know-how and requirements of the students. The courses at NOVA IMS provide modules in data modeling and GI basics. The second semester at IFGI provides basic and advanced courses in Geoinformatics. In addition, courses in key competencies (project management, researchmethods) are provided. The Master thesis in the third semester is closely linked to ongoing research projects of one of the partner institutions.
Based on the successful Master's assessment, the three universities will award the joint degree "Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Geospatial Technologies".
