Here's what some of our former students say about studying GIS with UNIGIS UK :

	Heather Morton-Davis Geologist, GIS/Health/Safety/Environmental Manager, Great River Materials, Burlington, Iowa, USA The units of study covered a broad range of topics and provided opportunities for growth not only in my academic studies but in my occupation as well. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wishing to obtain a well-rounded education in GIS.
	Alan Smith GI Strategy Manager, Office for National Statistics The UNIGIS MSc programme provides both a strong theoretical and practical understanding of GIS. Having enjoyed the course myself, several of my staff have now begun the same course.
	Phil Jones Senior Research Fellow, Swansea University Whilst I was a student on the UNIGIS course I was also a lecturer on another distance learning course. Having inside knowledge about how much effort and skill it takes to design and deliver such a course I was extremely impressed with the quality of the content and the organisation of the teaching. The course was well designed and thorough. I am now a Research Fellow in a medical school working on a Medical Research Council and Wales Office for R&D funded research project using GIS technology to explore the geography of suicide.
	Graham Whitefield Information Systems Manager, Argyll & Bute Council An excellent, flexible and well-constructed course supported by helpful and knowledgeable tutors and support staff.
	Peter Fallon Air Pollution Team Leader/Environmental Computer Systems Officer, Birmingham City Council With clear study structure, interesting and though provoking units, this course is a must for anyone wishing to advance their knowledge regarding GIS.  The tutors are excellent and dedicated to providing as much assistance as possible, and with the backup and support of the administration staff the whole experience has been a pleasure.  I would wholeheartedly recommend this degree programme.
	Michael Albás EU Official, European Commission, Directorate General for Regional Policy Thank you UNIGIS - the course has helped me combine life-long ambitions in somehow making Europe a better place!.
	Saviour Formosa Malta Environment and Planning Authority ...prepares students for a rapidly evolving GI world.  The course also helped to build links at international level, build up a local network of GI professionals, and inspired me to setup a national Maltese GI association called MAGI.

	Melanie Greenslade Project Officer, Lancashire County Council The course fulfilled me personally and allowed me to get the job in a field I enjoy.
