Program for the event

10 am — Presentation of the international Master´s program Cartography

M.Sc. Cartography is an international and consecutive master programme over four semesters at the universities TU Munich, TU Vienna, TU Dresden and ITC University of Twente. The focus is on a comprehensive education in cartography and geoinformatics. We are looking for students who are self-disciplined and show initiative, are independent thinkers but also team players and are interested in art, science and technology. The four involved universities, that represent globally reputable centres of excellence in the field of cartography, complement each other to provide an exceptional programme with excellent job employment prospects in this interdisciplinary field. The Cartography master programme starts every year in the winter semester (October) and the teaching language is English. 

The master programme will be presented by the local coordinator at TU Dresden, Dr.-Ing. Eva Hauthal. In addition, one former student will provide insights and be available for questions.

Presentation of the Department

The Department of Geosciences is part of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, along with the Departments of Forestry and Hydrosciences. Prospective students can start with the bachelor's degree programs in geography, geodesy and geoinformation and then continue their studies with the master's degree in geography, geodesy and geoinformation technologies and spatial development and natural resource management. In the subject of geography, students are also trained for the teaching profession at secondary schools and grammar schools.
