Geodesy and Geoinformation at University of Bonn

About

Geodesy is concerned with the measurement of the earth in global, regional, and local scales. Geoinformation in turn establishes links between the captured data and their geographic location, processing the data with computer-aided techniques and presenting them with digital geoinformation systems. Geodesy and geoinformation is an engineering science that works across disciplines and employs modern measurement technologies, analytical processes and communications media. The aim of many geodesy and geoinformation applications is to represent and form our living space e.g. by evaluating our planets (scarce) resources, or developing and planning our environment and infrastructure. The basic modules of the program furnish students with knowledge of engineering mathematics, experimental physics, curve fitting as well as geodesy and geoinformation. Later on, students learn mathematical evaluations of satellite missions that aim to characterize the earths gravity field, photogrammetric measuring and evaluation methods as well as design aspects of urban development. In addition to theoretical courses, practical training in the form of tutorials and practical surveying courses are an important part of this degree program. Possible lines of work: Managerial positions in public surveying administrations (land registries, regional land survey offices), publicly appointed survey engineer, commercial engineering firms, companies (geoinformation, transportation, cartography, photogrammetry, power supply, etc.), banking/real estate, construction industry, technical expert firms/planning offices, real estate departments of large companies, municipalities/ specialized administrations, aerospace, software development, academia (teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.)
