Over deze opleiding
Geographical information science & Earth Observation are scientific disciplines that develop methods to extract information about the earth surface & use this for solving real-world problems.
Geographical information science (GIS) and Earth Observation are scientific disciplines that develop methods to extract information about the earth surface and use this information for solving real-world problems. Many tools and services that are now main stream like GPS, route planners in cars and Google Earth were developed by GIScientists. Spatial data, and methods to combine and analyse spatial information can help to solve complex issues concerning health care, water and food security, climate change, urban planning, natural hazards and land scarcity.
Are you a professional (scientist of practitioner) with an academic background dealing with geospatial data? Do you have only a limited knowledge of the principles of GIS and earth observation in your application field? Would you like to take a course in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, which is an integral part of a full MSc programme, without having to spend any time away from home? ITC at the University of Twente (the Netherlands) now offers you this opportunity, with a brand-new distance course entitled “Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation: a Systems-based Approach”.

Kosten
Collegegeld
The tuition fee includes all expenses necessary to offer our students a comprehensive educational experience from start to end of selected course. These include registration fees, course materials, course excursions and access to research data and equipment. Fieldwork is paid out of general means as well as student personal funds, and varies per course and research theme. The cost of the residence permit is set by the Dutch Government and is subject to periodic increases. ITC applies on the applicantsâààbehalf for the residence permit, therefore the applicant is invoiced for this amount in advance .Dutch Immigration Service (IND) provides an estimate of monthly accommodation and living costs in the Netherlands. IND requires that ITC guarantees on behalf of the applicant that s/he has adequate funding to cover accommodation and living cost. All applicants must therefore provide evidence of funds by covering full payment of accommodation and living costs prior to start of course. The living allowance has to be paid in advance, after which students receive a refund upon arrival. This refund is after deduction of hotel accommodation expenses and can be used for food and out-of-pocket expenses. It is paid out either on a monthly basis or per course module, depending on the type of course you have registered for.All course participants traveling to ITC are required by law to hold full medical insurance. The short stay visa to travel to the Netherlands will not be issued unless insurance cover can be shown to the embassy. ITC arranges a comprehensive insurance cover in advance of arrival at the rates shown above. Applicants who are European Union citizens holding their own medical insurance must be able to provide evidence of comparable insurance. If provided and approved by ITC, these students are exempt from purchasing insurance through ITC.The tuition fee and additional costs are to be fully paid in advance to cover the total duration of the cost. Applicants for the MSc, Master, Postgraduate or Diploma course can pay their tuition expenses in two installment periods. For more information on fees and payment, please check our website www.itc.nl
