Am I eligible for the MSc program?

• hold a relevant Bachelor degree or an equivalent qualification from a recognised post-secondary educational institution, in a “spatial” or IT-related discipline. Additionally, candidates holding a Bachelor degree in other disciplines may also qualify for admission if they have addressed spatially relevant topics during their studies, provided they have professional experience in GIS or related fields.
• prove sufficient English language skills to read and write complex, academic texts.

The program director decides on the admission to the study program considering available study places, the application documents and the orientation interview.
