Geodesy and Geoinformatics (Bachelor of Science)

About

The first semesters are devoted to the necessary foundations in mathematics, physics, computer science and the subject-specific basics of geodesy and geoinformatics, surveying, curve fitting and statistics. Students learn programming languages and the foundations of database systems and digital image processing. Further on in the course, students additionally take special subjects such as positioning and navigation, remote sensing, and monitoring environmental change using aerial and satellite images. Cutting-edge research methods and results are directly incorporated into the programmes seminars, projects and Bachelors theses. Students are therefore given the opportunity to specialise and focus on specific areas without limiting their career options.

Students should enjoy using computers and should be interested in the links between mathematics and science. The ideal students are also open to new lines of scientific enquiry, creative, open to criticism and responsible-minded.
English language skills are beneficial but not essential.
