Overview

We offer a master degree in Geodesy and Geoinformation at Technical University of Munich. The objective of geodesy is the documentation of the anthroposphere through the use of surveys and geoinformation, and the representation of both according to the task at hand. Geodata describe, order and register human habitats according to particular characteristics, and also contribute to shaping and changing these habitats.

In addition to classic measuring instruments such as theodolites, laser scanners, and cameras, geodata is used in information systems, modern satellite technology and digital remote sensors. Geodesists develop automatic, computer-based procedures for the collection, processing, analysis and visualization of spatial information.

Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?

Opportunities for graduates of Geodesy and Geoinformation arise in research, as well as in different areas of public administration.

Further options arise in various branches of the private sector. In addition to engineering consultancies, banks and insurance companies, this includes the areas of computer science, geographic information systems, photogrammetry, and spatial informatics, or the automobile and automation industries.

Programme Structure

During the first semester, the program advances your fundamental knowledge of all areas of the discipline of geodesy and geoinformation, i.e. in the areas of higher geodesy and satellite geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensors and cartography, as well as geodesy, geoinformatics and land management.

In the second and third semesters, you develop your knowledge of the discipline and its methodologies based on your chosen area of specialization (higher geodesy and satellite geodesy; photogrammetry, remote sensors and cartography; or, geodesy, spatial informatics, and land management).
