Close links between research and teaching, i.e. high reference and gradual introduction of students to research-oriented topics; integration of theory and practical phases through high proportion of project work, therefore highly practice-related in combination with excellent methodology training; applied issues from professional life due to commitment of lecturers from the field; wide range of choices in study programme, courses taught in English too; optimal guidance and support services by the study programme manager; opportunities for the acquisition of key skills (including languages, GIS)
