MUGEREZI SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES - MUST COLLEGE

MAKING YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND ELEVATING SENOIR PROFESSIONALS


We believe that, in today’s world, the future development of a person and a country is depending on the level of understanding and usage of the Spatial Technologies and Internet tools. Spatial Technologies include Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), Satellite Image Processing, Mobile GIS solutions and Internet mapping. Internet tools under the Web 2.0 Technologies include tools such as wikis, google search, skype, google maps, blogs, facebook, linkedIn etc.


The fact that the future is in the hands of the YOUTHS, motivated us to start a one year Skill-based Practical oriented course in Spatial Technologies for secondary school leavers. We also have short courses for practicing professionals who want to improve their performance and bargaining power by using better the spatial technologies and internet tools.
