Internet-based distance learning Master program in GIS http://www.giscentrum.lu.se/luma-gis/index.htm

Lund University GIS Centre, Sweden, is happy to launch its new “Master’s Programme in Geographical Information Systems (GIS)” *. The Programme:

* will lead to a Degree of Master in Geographical Information Systems from Lund University; * is fully Internet-based - distance learning - except presentation and defence of the final thesis; * is flexible in terms of study tempo and learning methods; * will take 2 years to complete for a full-time student; * is free of charge for all students (no tuition fees)

We will admit about 100 students per year (equivalent to 40 full-time students per year). For the deadline of the 1st of March 2004, we will accept 50 part-time students (study tempo of 25-50%).

To take part in the Programme, you need:

* a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree (at least 3 years university studies, in any discipline) * access to a computer (at least 10 hours a week) – see section “Technical Prerequisite” * any sort of Internet connection (at least 1 hour a week)

* Note: The programme is equivalent to a degree of Master in Sweden. It is the responsibility of international students to verify if the programme is also recognized as a degree of Master in their country of origin.

The Programme is a collaboration with the E-GIS project of the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci Programme.
