Abstract

A large number of students in Southern and Eastern Asia aspire to study abroad at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for obtaining international qualifications, but only some of them can fulfill their dream through a scholarship or financial support from other sources. The developments and growth of eLearning and Online Distance Education are boosting the internationalisation process of education and facilitating excellent opportunities of obtaining international academic qualifications without moving abroad. This paper discusses the UNIGIS online distance learning programmes in Geographical Information Science and Systems as an alternative and cost effective model for obtaining widely recognised and highly regarded international academic qualifications. Local academic institutions can offer such opportunities by establishing joint study programmes in cooperation with worldwide UNIGIS member universities
