Furthermore, GIMA is a blended learning Master's programme, which means that most of the time students are studying from the place where students think they can study best (e.g. at home, or the local library). Students study full time (2 yrs.) or part time (4 yrs.). A compulsory internship allows the student to gain practical experience in a (geo-information) working environment. The internship is carried out within geo-information companies, agencies and research institutes in the Netherlands or abroad. The student submits a report about the internship. |
| Study subjects | The programme may be followed on a full time (2 years) or part time basis (4 years). The study programme comprises six course modules, an internship and a Master's thesis, which together will yield for 120 ECTS. |
