General information for the degree programme
The programme provides students with comprehensive knowledge and competencies about geoinformatics and the usage and development of scientific and technological methods in geoinformatics. The course of study covers fundamental aspects as well as current research and development trends in the field of geoinformation technology.
Students take courses in three different fields: processes of spatial data acquisition as well as methods for object recognition and fusion of spatial data; modelling, methods and technologies for geoinformation infrastructures as well as development of geoinformation services; methods and technologies of generalisation, of spatial data visualisation as well as of mobile and field-based cartography.
These specialisations are supplemented by courses from computer science and from environmental sciences as the main application area of geoinformation technologies (e.g. environmental monitoring, spatial planning., global change research, etc.).
