GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT & APPLICATIONS

Today’s society requires more and more geographical information. Think of physical planning, analysing the spread of epidemic diseases, risk management, navigation systems, location-based services, movement analysis, augmented reality, the increasing use of maps, and volunteered geographical information.

Geographical Information Management & Applications (GIMA) is a comprehensive master’s, focusing on the management and application of geographical information from a scientific perspective. Two additional aspects contribute to the uniqueness of the programme: GIMA is a joint venture involving four renowned Dutch universities Utrecht, Delft, Twente and Wageningen; and it is a blended learning programme, enabling you to do most of your studying from the place at which you study best (home or office). Only the first and the last weeks of each module are classroom-based.
