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). Thanks to funding from the Erasmus+ programme, we can offer 60 full MSc scholarships across four intakes, starting in September 2022. Students with other scholarships or alternative sources of funding are also warmly welcomed.

  • A unique international experience

    I believe pursuing my GEM-MSc course was perhaps the most satisfying, enjoyable and learning experience in my life.

    Influenced and inspired by Erasmus, this course helped not only put a feather to my academic qualification, with a world-class learning experience but redefined the meaning of learning in many facets
