Profile
This is the last or one but last module, where the student needs to prove he/she can master all knowledge and skills in the form of a thesis.

Contents
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 geo-information 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. In all cases the subject of study should reflect the main objectives of the GIMA programme.
