Education in Geodesy and Geoinformation Science

By resolution of the committees of TU Berlin, it has been decided to replace the diploma course „Surveying“ by the master program for the research area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In order to be internationally competitive, the english speaking master course „ M. Sc. Geodesy and  Geoinformation Science“ was developed. The first generation of students were matriculated in winter term 2006/2007. Most of them have graduated in 2009 after five semesters - in average.

The master program is addressed to national and international applicants with a former academical degree (i.e. Bachelor, Diploma), who wants to be qualified for leading positions in:

Geo Information Technology
Space Geodesy and Navigation
Engineering Surveying and Estimation Theory
Computer Vision and Remote Sensing

The programme on "M.Sc. Geodesy and Geoinformation Science" was accredited in 2008 by german ASIIN and the european EUR-ACE signet.
Originally, the master programme could not be categorized as consecutive by accreditation committee, due to the missing bachelor offer for Geodesy and Geoinformation Science of TU Berlin and the fact that students with non-geodetic background could apply for the course. Based on the selection procedure and the proximity to related disciplines like Cartography, Geography and Informatics, the master progam finally have been evaluated to be consecutive and research oriented.

Head of the Programme of Studies on "M.Sc. Geodesy and Geoinformation Science" is the Dean of Studies:

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Neitzel
