Education and training
One of CIRFA’s key activities is the education of Bachelor and Master students and PhD candidates, who are well prepared for entering into both research and industry positions as skilled and knowledgeable professionals.
Research-based education within CIRFA and UiT`s Earth Observation group takes place in the office as well as in the field, and is supported by workshops and seminars. If you are interested in pursuing an internship, study project or Master thesis with us, get in touch with one of our professors or the leaders of the work package that is most relevant for you.
