GIMA gives me the opportunity to explore basic techniques before specialising in various theoretical and methodological topics of your own choice.
My interest in Geographic Information Management can be traced back to my time as a Bachelor’s student in Human Geography. During the thesis project, I utilised geo-information techniques to predict so-called ‘ripple effects’ in Amsterdam’s housing prices. It was clear that the focus of my Master’s programme would be to further explore GIS, but I wasn’t sure which specific field of research I was most interested in.
GIMA gives me the opportunity to explore basic techniques and applications before specialising in various theoretical and methodological topics of your own choice. The freedom and flexibility of this Master’s programme enabled me to find out where my strengths and weaknesses lie.
Moreover, the programme focuses on project management. I am currently working part-time as a project developer for large-scale solar fields. My long-term goal is either to become a project manager or establish my own business. GIMA’s scientific and practical approach will help considerably.
