Geodesy and Geoinformatics – Remote Sensing and GIS Track

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The master's programme in geodesy and geoinformatics is divided into three study tracks: Geomatics, Remote Sensing and GIS, and Navigation and Field Robotics. The Track "Remote Sensing and GIS" within the programme Geodesy and Geoinformatics is a geoscience subject based mainly on computer science, image processing, geoinformatics and artificial intelligence. In this track, students deepen their knowledge of various techniques of image-based earth observation, data analysis, evaluation and presentation using geoinformation systems (GIS). The program focuses on observing and monitoring the Earth, providing precise data and analyses for sustainable development of our environment. By combining image and geodata analysis, positioning and communication, information can be provided virtually in real time and made available in a GIS for further processing and visualization. The results provide an essential basis for decision-making on issues related to agriculture and forestry, environmental protection, the Earth system, climate change, sustainable development, disaster control, civil security and other areas of societal concern. This study track can be studied entirely in English.
