Requisitos

The Master's program targets holders of a Bachelor's degree with a qualification in application areas of Geographic Information (GI), e.g., environmental planning, regional planning, geography, logistics, transportation, marketing, energy provision, computer science. A requirement for admission is an adequate Bachelor degree of six semesters full time (= 180 ECTS credit points) or more, as recognized by the partner universities in Germany, Portugal, or Spain, for admission to graduate studies.

 All applicants applying as a student for the Masters Program in Geospatial Technologies will be assessed against the following formal admission criteria:

1. In an evaluation procedure, up to 32 students will be admitted each year (fall/winter semester), half of them starting at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and half at the Universitat Jaume I, Castellón. The overall entry requirements are defined by the respective national laws for Higher Education in Spain and Portugal.

2. A requirement for admission is an adequate Bachelor degree of six semesters full time (= 180 ECTS credit points) or more, as recognized by the partner universities in Germany, Portugal, or Spain, for admission to graduate studies. The Masters Program in Geospatial Technologies is recommended to students with relevant degrees in application areas of geographic information. In case of uncertainty, the Examination board or Masters Program coordinator decides about relevance.

3. Fulfilling 150 ECTS credit points in an ongoing Bachelor program is NOT sufficient to apply for an Erasmus Mundus grant as third-country or Window student. For EU students applying for a scholarship, 150 credits can be accepted for a preliminary approval, if the Bachelor diploma is provided until July 15 of the respective year. For other students – not applying for a scholarship – on the basis of an individual evalution 150 credits can be accepted for a preliminary approval, if the Bachelor diploma is provided at the time of enrolment.

4. The study program is in English language. Therefore, a TOEFL certificate (minimum 500 points, paper-based), or equivalent, is required. Equivalent can be a certificate from other institutions such as IELTS (academics), a previous Bachelors or Masters program entirely taught in English (to be documented), or English as mother tongue.
