GEM Joint Master programme

Erasmus+ MSc in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation for Environmental Modelling and Management

GEM is a two-year MSc in “Geo-information Science and Earth Observation for Environmental Modelling and Management”. GEM is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree Programme (EMJMD). Graduates of the GEM Programme will be awarded a double degree, meaning you receive two diplomas - one from each of the two accredited Masters programmes in your chosen track. See here for more details about which degrees you will obtain in each track.

We regret to inform you, there will be no Erasmus+ scholarships available for the course starting in 2025. However, students with other scholarships or alternative sources of funding are warmly welcome to apply for our MSc course. 

If you plan to apply for a scholarship, apply to our GEM course at least eight weeks before the scholarship application deadline, as a (conditional) admission letter is needed to apply for a scholarship.
