Geomatic Engineering and Planning Bachelor

Focus on geodata

Geomatic Engineering compiles, measures and analyses structures and alterations in our living environment. The data gathered is used to create exact computer models which help us to better understand environmentally relevant processes and shape our future environs.

Planning involves the long-term and sustainable development of residential areas, landscapes, traffic systems and infrastructures, in the interests of present and future generations.

Credits ECTS: 180
Language of instruction: German

Structure:

The first three semesters of the Bachelor’s degree programme focus on the fundamentals of mathematics and the natural and engineering sciences. The basic principles of geomatic engineering are then expanded and extended. From the fifth semester four elective modules are offered, from which students may choose two, depending on their interests. The programme is rounded off with elective courses and a Bachelor’s thesis.

- General basic courses: Mathematics, Mechanics, Computer Science, Physics, Geology, etc.

- Subject-specific fundamentals: Geodetic Metrology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Parameter Estimation, Photogrammetry, Cartography, Land Management, Planning and Transportation, etc.
