About this programme

The Bachelor’s programme in Geodesy and Earth Observation focuses on the precise monitoring, measurement, and mapping of the Earth and its habitats. Using state‑of‑the‑art methods for data acquisition, modelling, and processing, students learn how high‑quality geoinformation is generated — information that is essential for a wide range of scientific, societal, and technical applications. The data collected and analysed by geodesists ensures legal certainty in official surveying and forms a reliable basis for planning, regulation, and land management. Beyond this, geodetic measurements and Earth observation techniques provide indispensable data for disaster management, environmental risk assessment, and research into the Earth system, global change, and planetary processes. The central aim of geodesy and Earth observation is the detailed recording and analysis of the human environment. Through precise measurement techniques, structured processing of geospatial information, and targeted visual presentation, geodesists describe our surroundings, classify them according to relevant characteristics, and contribute their expertise to shaping and managing change in a sustainable way. Students gain hands‑on experience with classical measurement instruments such as theodolites, laser scanners, and cameras, while also working with modern information systems, satellite technologies, and digital remote sensing sensors. An important focus of the programme is the development and applicatio
