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. In addition, with the participation of two other universities (Munich and Vienna), there is the possibility to study and complete the International Master's program Cartography in the third semester at the department.

Stella provides an in-depth look at the master's program Geodäsie.

The right combination of subjects Math and geography were among her favorite subjects at school. "I was fascinated by the logical. I found identifying and then solving problems particularly engrossing," says Klara Töpfer, looking back with a smile. Logically enough, she decided to study geodesy. "It's a good mix of math and geoscience: It's not just about pure math; the subject is also about practical application."  further information
