The dual degree masters graduate program will last two years and be based upon successful completion of 48 US credits, equivalent to 144 EU credits.\u00a0The educational plan of the program is detailed below.<\/div>\n
\"\"First year (1st and 2nd semester) at George Mason University, USA<\/h6>\n
\n

Courses are aimed at transferring knowledge and skills about GIS and its application especially in environmental analysis followed by a thesis. Teaching will be managed according to the US system and all modules will be taught in English. Theory will be taught via class work, while applications will be developed in laboratories, where advanced computer hardware and software will be available. A web based education tool is used for the modules allows the students to be updated, in regard to the knowledge process, to enhance the communication student to student, and faculty to students. The evaluation of all courses will be via written exams, and final project. The non English speaking students will attend the course in ENGL613 Technical and Scientific Writing, while the English speaking students will attend the ITAL330, Technical and Scientific Italian, in order to improve the capability to read and to understand the foreign articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"Second year, 1st semester at the University of Cagliari, Italy<\/h6>\n
\n

Courses are aimed at transferring knowledge and skills about planning theory and support with an emphasis on the suitability of GIS methods and analysis for aiding processes of environmental, strategic and impact assessment in planning, followed by a thesis. Teaching will be managed according to the Italian system and all modules will be taught in English. Theory will be taught via lectures and seminars, where applications will be developed and tutored. Evaluation of all modules will occur via a written (or oral) mid-term exam and a final oral exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
