Dear all,

 

This is an interesting opportunity for students to be funded to study a 3-semester GI Technologies masters degree in Europe. Option to begin in Spain or Portugal and then continue at top-rated Univ of Muenster (Germany).  I was one of the creators of the Master program (before joining Esri) so I can vouch for the quality of the people, program, and overall international experience.

 

North American students qualify as 3rd-country students. And the 3rd-country scholar category is actually a visiting teacher position (7200 euros for 3 months) for non-Europeans. Not a bad opportunity for a mini-sabbatical in Spain or Portugal.

 

All instruction in the master is in English language.

 

Check it out.

 

Cheers,

M Gould
