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.
