GEM MSc course - Modules
The GEM Course is divided into one foundation year (60 ECTS) and one year of specialization (60 ECTS). The foundation year is coordinated by the University Twente (The Netherlands) and Lund University (Sweden).
All students start in either The Netherlands or Sweden at the beginning of September. Due to the semester teaching method at Lund University, and the modular teaching method at University Twente, all students, independently of location, obtain the same basic knowledge in GIS, RS, statistics, environmental modelling and management, even though the sequence of topics is different reflecting the different curriculum structures of the two universities.
The tables below presents a summary of the modules offered in the foundation year.
