84 The students range in age from 23 years to 38 years, and in profession from university lecturers to professional geologists, civil engineers, surveyors, photogrammetrists and cartographers. Most of the students had no experience of computer science before starting the course, and many had not used mathematics since secondary school or their early years at university. For many coming 'back to school' was difficult, but all have mastered the computer science they have been taught and are facing up to the mathematics! It is important to stress that considerable mathematical competence is required to cope with the photogrammetric and digital image processing aspects of the course; .we have had to supply some extra mathematical tuition. Naturally the course participants are more enthusiastic about the applications subjects, and they are already making plans for their research projects in the second year. As teachers of this new course it is revitalising to be involved in forging a course cutting across the traditional photogrammetry/ digital image processing/ cartography/ computer science divisions of our department. Ve work with colleagues we have rarely worked with before, and have to rethink where are own individual technical specialities fit into the whole integrated picture. The course participants, being aware that it is a new course, exhibit commendable patience and come up with only the most constructive criticism. The experience is entirely worthwhile, and we look forward to seeing our graduates out in the world realising the potential of integrated geoinformation.

Degree Programme. References 1. R. Groot/C. Paresi; Education in Photogrammetry at ITC, a new concept, a new programme; Proceedings ISPRS Kyoto, Japan, 1988. 2. J. Besenicar/M. Radwan/A.
