"Summer 2016 was very special for me because I graduated from the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS, Villach, Austria). I studied the Master degree program “Spatial Information Management” there for two years, under the gSmart Erasmus Mundus scholarship. This degree opened good job opportunities for me in my home city Astana, Kazakhstan.  I would like to express my gratitude to the gSmart Erasmus Mundus program and their coordinators for giving me the opportunity to study Masters in CUAS. My special “thankyou” goes to the coordinator of study program, Prof. Dr. Gernot Paulus and all CUAS staff. Their excellent lectures and valuable knowledge have facilitated me in my career and life.
