Bachelor German Mathematics & Natural Sciences

Geodesy and Geoinformatics

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Measuring the earth is a modern science. In addition to classic measuring tools, geodesists and geoinformatics specialists use modern satellite technology for remote sensing and positioning. They develop automatic, computer-assisted methods to collect, process, analyse and visualise spatial information. Geodesy and geoinformatics encompasses regional and urban development issues and the development of geographic information systems, while acquiring, managing and visualising data to make varied use of this data. Graduates are involved in the development of vehicle navigation systems; they measure the deformation of dams, continental drifts and sea level rises. Geodesy and geoinformatics is a mixture of engineering and earth sciences underpinned by mathematics and physics, with close links to law, environmental and social sciences. The course content includes: Cartography, Engineering geodesy, Geodetic data analysis and statistics, Geoinformatics, GNSS and satellite geodesy, Navigation, Mathematics, Photogrammetry and image processing, Surveying, Urban and regional planning.
