Certificate, Nice; Diploma, Great; MSc... Awesome
“ I have given the last couple of years to Unigis; But what a joy. Unigis not only enriched me with Geo-related knowledge but also provided me personally with a more analytical view and changed me somehow in that matter in a positive way.
The long distance learning method Unigis uses encouraged my enthusiasm of GIS and was the only way for me to combine my professional live with the academic one.
Great respect goes to the staff of Unigis Amsterdam (and Manchester Metropolitan U.) who accompanied me with great support to become a Harry Potter-like MSc (That's the way UK dresses up for graduation). The whole crew has a warm family-like approach of coaching their students. Always available and sharp when it's necessary.
So a warm "Thank you" and a big hand goes to Unigis for giving me that Unigis-feeling and feeding my never-ending educational GIS-appetite. ”

UNIGIS changed my carreer and personal life
“ I had been working in GIS for a while, performing flood damage assessments, but I could not have foreseen that taking a course like this would change my career and my personal life in the way it did. Just after completing the diploma part and starting work on ideas for the Master’s thesis, I joined ESRI Netherlands. Doing the thesis was fun. I spent many hours searching the web for ideas, digging up research material and translating it into a coherent document based upon some analysis of my own. Joining ESRI has proven to be a very valuable step, both professionally and socially. GIS provided a solid foundation for this exploration and I want to thank all those who helped me develop the skills I possess today. ”

UNIGIS offered me the right knowledge at the right moment
“ The UNIGIS programme is one of the first to qualify for European accreditation; this means that the Diploma and the Masters Degree will be officially internationally recognized. The programme helped me enormously during my work placement in Guinea. I was always able to use the knowledge I needed – about database development, for example – at the right moment. For me, the most important part of the course was managing the introduction of a GIS system, as this allows you to learn the key elements in the process of change, in gathering data and in keeping it up to date.
Back in the Netherlands, I learned a lot about databases and the use of computers and the Internet. As a result, I now attach much less value to software; what is really important is the way computers are used. I no longer allow myself to be taken in by tall tales of endless possibilities. Just show me how we persuade people to sit at the computer and take part in the development of a particular program. ”
