How I made to Salzburg

 

My trip to the Centre for Geoinformatics (ZGIS) at the University of Salzburg started when Dr.Shahnawaz (Director of South  East Asia, UNIGIS,International), University of Salazburg who advertised any candidiate who is wishing to apply for MSc. in Applied Geoinformatics from  Bhutan to kindly apply, that is how I grabbed this opportunity. Although the scholarship  was based on compittion based amongst many countries, where only few candidiates were selected.  And moreover I always  had a wish to do this Geospatial Informatics & Satellite Observation studies which is becoming the hotspot topics everywhere in the world. 

 

Through his introduction that is how I applied for the  OeAD scholarship program and also communicated with Professor Josef Strobl, the Director at ZGIS about my interest to further my studies in Geoinformatics at the University of Salzburg who was always very supportive for me in whavere ways and means I approached to him.  .

With the kind help and assistance of Madam Elke of the OeAD office, I was successfully awarded a scholarship to study at the ZGIS and I earnestly enrolled and began my course work on 1st of October, 2011.

I am highly grateful for the opportunity and privilege awarded to me by OeAD to be able to pursue my studies in Austria and particularly at the Centre for Geoinformatics, University of Salzburg
