The Master's degree programme in Geoinformatics provides a scientific and research-oriented education that qualifies students for independent work in functional and management positions in the private sector, public administration and research and development.

In addition to basic modules on geodata modelling, system specification and the development of geodata infrastructures, a wide range of elective modules are offered that enable students to deepen their knowledge in the areas of point cloud processing and building information modelling (BIM). Current topics from research and practice are covered, such as the use of point clouds in 3D coordinate spaces (building and city models, underground models, 3D archaeology), BIM methods and tools. Interdisciplinary elective modules, e.g. on simulation modelling, sustainable development and an international summer school, round off the training of tomorrow's managers.

By the way: this Master's degree qualifies you for a traineeship in the higher surveying administration service (if you choose the right modules during your studies).
