REQUIREMENTS (to start)
Physical Geography and Ecosystems Analysis:
A scientific first level degree comprising at least 180 higher education credits in physical
geography, geology, geoscience, biology/ecology, physics, agronomy, forestry,
environmental science or the equivalent, or a foreign degree with an equivalent/similar
specialisation. English 6/English Course B.
Geomatics: A first-cycle degree in Science or Engineering of at least 180 higher education credits
is required. Examples of relevant scientific first-cycle degrees are Bachelor of Science in Physical
Geography, Mathematics or Computer Science. From technical colleges, specialisations in land
surveying, community planning, civil engineering, ecosystems analysis or similar are relevant.
English 6/English Course B.
ABS: A scientific first level degree in Physical Geography or Physics or the equivalent,
comprising at least 180 higher education credits, is required for admission to the programme.
There are specific admission requirements for individual courses on the programme. English
6/English Course B.
