Master Geodetic Engineering

The master program Geodetic Engenieering is a research orientated program. This means the program will help you developing skills in approaching challenging, new and unsolved problems in geodesy and the application of geodetic methods in related fields. In other words, during your study you will learn problem-solving skills rather than using standard software for standard applications.

The Program offers three different profiles.

Profiles

Geodetic Earth System Science and Data Analysis

The profile deals with how advanced satellite- and space-geodetic observation techniques, in combination with innovative data processing and modeling approaches, provide us with adequate information to make appropriate decisions based on empirical results and their interpretation..

... to the profile

Geoinformation and Spatial Developement

The profile focuses on developing and implementing innovative solutions to problems of spatial data handling and development of technologies - with advanced methods and systems - that can help decision makers and planners in a highly urbanised world.

1/9 EARTH SYSTEM RESEARCH | The field of geodetic earth system research is located at the interface between geodesy and other earth sciences. The modeling of dynamic processes in the ocean on different time scales (from hours to long-term changes) is a typical research area. Here, the focus is on questions such as "How do tides change in coastal areas as a result of sea level rise?". © Anne Braakmann-Folgmann

2/9 GEODESY | Directly georeferenced 3D point cloud of the Poppelsdorf Palace in Bonn, recorded with the portable laser scanning system. The accuracy of the 3D point cloud is in the range of cm to dm. © IGG | Geodesy

3/9 GEOINFORMATION | If the smartphone knows where you are, then this is made possible in the background by algorithms that visualize spatial information based on automatic analyses. © IGG | Jan-Henrik Haunert & Michael Kneuper

4/9 PHOTOGRAMMETRY | Intelligent robots and autonomous systems need to understand and model their environment in order to act intelligently. Research is therefore concerned with novel methods for perception, modeling and action generation for such systems. © IGG | Photogrammetry

5/9 URBAN PLANNING and LAND MANAGEMENT | Sustainable spatial development must establish a stable balance between the social, ecological and economic demands on space. © IGG | Urban Development and Landuse Planning

6/9 REMOTE SENSING | An exciting and relatively new development is the use of machine learning in the natural sciences, where the main goal is to gain new scientific knowledge and discoveries from observational or simulation data. © IGG | Remote Sensing

7/9 THEORETICAL GEODESY | In addition to trying to extract as much information as possible from the datasets, we spend a great deal of effort describing the uncertainty in the derived results. © IGG | Theoretical Geodesy

8/9 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT | To pick out the right ones from the huge amount of data is sometimes impossible. In the age of data-intensive research, it is therefore becoming increasingly important to make data, information and knowledge available in computer-readable form and to make these sources increasingly interpretable automatically for artificial intelligence (AI) methods. © IGG | Information Managment

9/9 ASTRONOMICAL, PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL GEODESY | Sometimes it takes a lot of distance to get the right view of things. By analyzing satellite data, the shape and gravitational field of the Earth can be precisely calculated, thereby improving our understanding of processes in the ocean, hydro- and atmosphere, and the solid Earth. © IGG | APMG
