Students at these universities have the opportunity to earn elective subject credits toward reaching UNIGIS MSc (GISc) degrees. The UNIGIS institutions will also integrate these course materials as an optional component of their MSc degrees.

"On behalf of UNIGIS, we are excited to increase our strong relationship with Intergraph and offer another valuable resource to students to enhance their portfolios," said Professor Dr. Josef Strobl, Director, Centre for GeoInformatics Salzburg; and Vice Chair, UNIGIS International Association, responsible for industry relations and network development for UNIGIS. "I encourage other UNIGIS member universities to participate and offer similar credits for their students."

The course is suitable for both existing users of GeoMedia(R) Professional or other GIS technology, as well as those new to GIS. Course participants are provided with a 20-week license of GeoMedia Image and GeoMedia Professional. Upon completion of the program, participants will have the opportunity to take an examination in order to gain GeoMedia Professional Certified User status and an Intergraph Certificate in GIS Integrated Geospatial Theory.
