Geodesy and Geoinformation

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Geodesy is concerned with the measurement of the Earth in global, regional and local scales. Geoinformation establishes links between captured data and their geographic location, processing the data with computer-aided techniques and presenting them with digital geoinformation systems. The master's program builds on existing knowledge in four areas: Global Monitoring, Geodetic Optimization and Multisensor Systems, Photogrammetry and Geoinformation Systems, and Urban Renewal and Reconstruction. Students can later specialize through elective, block and project modules. The research-oriented program prepares students for work as engineers in commercial enterprises, administrative authorities or research. The program aims to convey advanced mathematical, methodological and technical abilities corresponding to current research topics in geodesy and geoinformation. A master's degree is also a prerequisite for acceptance to the probationary training period (Referendariat) for higher public surveying.
