Year 1, Academic year 2016/17, Starting month: September
Notes: Alternative option courses from those listed below may be substituted with the permission of the Programme Director.
Students on the MSc in Earth Observation and Geoinformation Management are advised to take between 30-40 credits of option courses in semester one and 30-40 credits of option courses in semester two (70 credits for both semesters all together). It is possible to vary from this but you should do so in consultation with the Programme Director.
You must think carefully about when your chosen courses will be delivered and make choices that balance your time well between the 4 blocks within the two semesters.
Students are encouraged to complete the majority of taught courses in blocks 1, 2 and 3 to allow maximum time for the Dissertation.
