About the Program

Geodesy and Geoinformatics, as the science of recording, administering, analysing and presenting geospatial data and processes, deals with the structures of our living spaces and economic areas. It covers an area ranging from geoscience to engineering and social sciences culminating in the environmental sciences, land management and spatial planning. The program is involved in the planning of sustainable land use systems and the recording and visualisation of the constantly changing built and as yet unbuilt environment. Geodesy and Geoinformatics stands for a modern form of surveying, which covers the areas of geodesy, photogrammetry, metrology, navigation, geographical information systems as well as geographical visualisation. The diverse tasks are accomplished using highly developed technological measurement systems and methods. The degree course at the HCU offers a sound qualification in information technology as well as natural and engineering sciences, while simultaneously encouraging a more transdisciplinary way of thinking as well as the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team. HafenCity University (HCU) also offers this Bachelor's degree programme as a practice-integrated study model with a number of cooperation partners, providing an opportunity to finance full-time studies and combine theory and practice during the degree programme. The curriculum includes basic subjects in the first and second semesters such as Practical Geodesy, Mathematics and Physics, Computer Science, Software Development, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Evaluation Technology and Special Calculation Methods. Compulsory subjects in the main program include Applied Mathematics and Adjustment Methods, Practical Geodesy, Satellite Geodesy, Geo-informatics, Photogrammetry and Cartography, Land Survey Registry and Property Law, Valuation and Land Division and Rural Planning. Additionally, in the first, fourth and fifth semesters, students participate in Q-Studies or Studium Fundamentale, which provides transdisciplinary educational knowledge from art, social sciences, and natural sciences.
