M.Sc. in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation:-
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (specialization/domain: Geoinformatics) is offered within the framework of the Joint Education Programme (JEP) of the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) and the Faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente (UT), The Netherlands.
The course is of 2 years duration having eight quartiles. Students follow part of the course at IIRS and a part at the Faculty ITC, The Netherlands.
The first year will be taught at IIRS. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a Master’s degree from UT-ITC. The UT-ITC degree has the name ‘Master of Science degree in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation’.
The diploma will be accompanied by a Diploma Supplement (DS) that describes the nature, level, context, content, specialization, and status of the Master’s degree and the grades obtained for the courses and thesis Other details are as follows:
