In the field of study Geomatics, the courses of study that deal with location-related data (geodata) are combined. This includes the recording, organization, administration, or even visualization. Geodesy is also a common term for this field of study.
The courses of study in this field of study focus on the relationship between the earth's surface and its representation in maps, plans, databases and also software applications.
While the Bachelor's degree in Surveying and Geoinformatics deals with concrete objects such as streets, houses, plots of land, etc., the Bachelor's degree in Information Logistics is about providing the right information at the right time and in the right place. The Master's programme in surveying then deepens these applications on concrete objects, especially in the field of land management and engineering surveying. The international Master's degree programme Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics offers a specialisation option for both Bachelor's programmes, which focuses on the evaluation and interpretation of measurement data, especially through remote sensing and image recognition methods, as well as the management of (geo)data.
As an interface course to architecture, the Master's programme in Urban Planning deals with geoinformatics from the field of geodesy inaddition to the topics of urban planning.
The Master's programme in Environmental Logistics is the interface course to business and ties in with contents of information logistics.
Our professors encourage us to carry out experiments independently and also to take paths that are not considered to be common practice. In this way we can learn from our tasks and grow from them. Even if one or the other measuring process does not run as expected, we are always driven to keep trying and learn from our mistakes, I appreciate that very much.
Climate change is a challenge for land management! The resources of soil and water are limited, pest infestations have to be managed and the weather does what it wants? What are the possibilities of using surveying drones and other current trends and developments in the field of land management to meet these challenges?

Do you know what a multiple camera system records in a low-flying aircraft, what a mixed reality construction helmet can do or how artificial intelligence supports the restructuring of geometry and geoinformation data of an entire operational infrastructure? Answers to these and many other such exciting questions were provided by the students in the bachelor's degree program in surveying and geoinformatics with the presentations on their bachelor's theses.

In mid-December, about 40 students of the 3rd and 4th semester in the Surveying and Geoinformatics course of study took a one-week break from normal lecture activities. During this time, mostly groups of five students in the practice-oriented Geoinformation Module (IGP) dedicated themselves to project work in the department of web-based geoinformation models.
