Program Curriculum
This course is a three-semester follow-on master‘s degree programme, building on the knowledge you have acquired in your undergraduate degree programme.
The first two semesters provide you with the theoretical and practical grounding vital to your professional career whereas the third semester is devoted to your master‘s thesis and colloquium. All courses have been designed to not just offer you factual knowledge but also various chances to apply what you have learned. You will be given the opportunity to enhance your knowledge by visiting lectures and deepen it by attending seminars and exercises. Practical trainings are integral parts of every module.
In your first two semesters you will develop substantial skills in areas such as “System Simulation“, “Data Mining“, “Data Analysis and Information Engineering“, “Statistics“ and “Geoinformatics“. At the same time you will gain important key competencies in the fields of “Scientific and Technical Communication”, “Intercultural Management and Intercultural Competence” as well as “Innovation Management” and will have the chance to specialise by choosing lectures and modules out of the four tracks mentioned above. Each semester also offers an applied research project, giving you the opportunity to put theory into practice.
In your third semester you will develop your master‘s thesis. Again a high academic standard as well as the relevance for use in practice are of major importance.
