You begin your studies with course package 1 (25 credits). During the first year you deepen your knowledge in methods and some special field of geoinformatics, and begin to plan your thesis. Your optional studies (35 credits) may include courses from geography programme or suitable studies from other programmes (discuss those with your personal study plan supervisor).
