Master programme Geo-information Science and Earth Observation amongst Dutch top

The master programme Geo-information Science and Earth Observation is rated amongst the best university master programmes in the Netherlands. Today, the new Keuzegids Masters – the Netherlands’ most important study information guide- was published with the ratings of all master programmes offered at Dutch Universities. The score of 92 points means a (shared) second spot overall. It is already the fifth time in a row that the master programme receives the quality seal Top rated programme, which is being awarded to all programmes scoring 75 or more points.

The score of 92 equals last year’s score, with the student ratings in particular playing a major role in the high score. On seven of the eight aspects, Geo-information Science and Earth Observation scores the maximum number of points.

“It is always hard to become a top performer”, the ITC Directorate states. “But remaining at the top is maybe an even more difficult task. We find it very important that students appreciate the efforts from staff to offer top quality education and are proud of its reflection in the Top rated programme seal. We are open to feedback from students on how they perceive their education at ITC as that will help us perform at a very high standard.”
