Content
The (individual) academic research that results in a master thesis deals with a specific need or issue that is relevant to the present-day practice of geoinformation management and application. In some cases the subject of the thesis will originate from a student project carried out in module 6 or the internship; in other instances the subject of the thesis will be brought in front by the candidate or GIMA lecturers.
