About this programme

The content of the Master's degree programme in Geoinformatics at TU Dresden covers in-depth fundamentals as well as current development and research trends in geoinformatics. The Master's degree programme offers three areas of specialisation: Geodata acquisition: laser scanning, photogrammetry, optical 3D measurement methods, GNSS and remote sensing as well as methods of data analysis and data integration Geodata services: modelling, methods and technologies for geodata infrastructures as well as the development of geoinformation services and web applications Geodata visualisation: methods of geovisual analysis and cartographic communication, methods of automatic generalisation, as well as mobile and field-based cartography These focal points are supplemented by content from computer science to expand methodological knowledge (e.g. virtual reality, (geo)databases, (geo)software development) and from the environmental sciences as an essential application domain of geoinformatics (e.g. environmental risks, spatial planning). In-depth seminars and projects deal with current research topics in geoinformatics (e.g. sensor networks, GI usability, web applications for decision support, geodata fusion, etc.) In addition, key qualifications are taught in the following areas: foreign languages, management methods, personnel management, marketing, work organisation, contract law, cultures, rhetoric, presentation. In four semesters, the course comprises six compulsory modules and eight
