Panaji: While the Covid-19 pandemic has made an institution realize the importance of online learning as before, the Goa University has stepped further, and is set to offer two fully postgraduate programs in online mode.
Varsitas is expected to introduce a new master’s program in remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) even because it functions to offer one of the newly introduced programs, MSC / MA in environmental science, in the same format.
Both will take place exclusively online.
It is felt that offering a fully postgraduate program in online mode will help students get a double degree because it allows them to pursue other courses that they might have registered.
We have an idea to make MSC / MA in environmental science online program 100%, so a student can get two degrees in a two-year duration (double degree).
Similarly, we have also initiated the MSC program in remote sensing and GIS, which is estimated to be 100% online, which is waiting for the government nod to launch, “said Gu Vice-Chancellor Harilal B Menon told toi.
The representative of Chancellor said that MSc / MA in science The environment in GU is a unique program as students who have done BSC or BA they can join the course and the first two semesters that are common for all students.
“We need to have more Siamese programs.
In the settlement of the program, BSC students received the MSc title and BA students got the title of MA, “said Menon.
He said the program included a large number of subjects such as women in the environment, environmental politics, disaster management, green chemistry, ethics and the environment, geoinformatics, etc.
.
When the rush of students to join the program for medical and engineering continues, VC see shit like that.
The program as an answer to make students interested in obtaining knowledge spanning across the river.
“A student pursuing a program at IIT, for example, do not learn just the technology, But studying other subjects from the humanities too, which made this institution sought much, “said Menon.
