About this programme
The Master's programme in Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics is research-based, and it makes use of the unique capabilities available in these fields at KIT. The first and second semesters of the two-year programme set a common basis in remote sensing and geoinformatics techniques and applications. At the same time, a selection of one out of six profiles allows for a specialisation according to each student's interests. Lab rotations in the third semester allow students detailed insights into the scientific work of self-selected research groups at KIT. Furthermore, these lab rotations help students gain hands-on research experience. A six-month MSc thesis is completed in the fourth semester. Successful students are awarded the degree Master of Science (MSc) in Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics. The programme language is English. Selected supplementary courses in other languages may be chosen from other KIT programmes to complement the desired profiles of the students.
