- UNIGIS Master of Science
- This two-year postgraduate distance learning course provides a sound basis for the design and use of geographic information systems (GIS). After graduation, graduates are awarded the academic degree "Master of Science (GISc)" and are particularly qualified to manage projects, working groups and departments.
