Geodesy and Geoinformation

Whether we are looking at our planet from satellites or from the ground, studying the effects of climate change, surveying mountain ranges or creating digital twins: Geodesists use digital maps and virtual images to observe natural processes and man-made changes on the Earth's surface. The interdisciplinary Master's program in Geodesy and Geoinformation offers a wide range of possible applications and excellent prospects for the future. Mathematics, computer science and natural sciences form the basis of this engineering education. You can further deepen the factual and methodological knowledge you have already acquired by choosing individual specialisations and interests, such as engineering surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing, earth surveying and satellite geodesy, cartography and geoinformatics, as well as land readjustment and land development. Nine specialisations offer flexible design options to shape individual interests in geodetic topics - experience this high flexibility of the Master's degree programme in Geodesy and Geoinformation at the Technical University of Munich! The challenges in the areas of environmental protection, resource management and the development of urban and natural space make it necessary to collect and model reliable local and global computer-based geoinformation. After successfully completing the degree programme, you will have in-depth technical and methodological knowledge to link this spatial data and communicate it to society. You will model, visualise, use and interpret these data and you will be able to assess different sensors and evaluation methods in relation to the task. You are able to assess the effort and process of complex subject-specific questions and carry them out independently. You are directly involved in current projects from research and industry and thus acquire practical experience. You will recognise interdisciplinary connections between the subfields of geodesy and its neighbouring disciplines, such as aerospace engineering, and systematically expand your knowledge beyond the subject boundaries. The content focus varies depending on the chosen study line, but all provide access to the entire spectrum of professional practice. Graduates find career opportunities within industry (automotive industry, aerospace, sensor technology, etc.), research, the public sector and in planning and engineering offices.
