The field of study Surveying combines the study programmes that deal with location-based data (geodata), navigation and positioning, as well as technical systems (sensors, measuring devices, actuators, ...). Tasks include acquisition, exchange, management, analysis, (3D) modelling and visualisation of data.
While the Bachelor's degree in Surveying and Geoinformatics deals with any objects in our living space, such as streets, houses, land, etc., the Bachelor's degree in Digitalisation and Information Management deals with topics such as the Internet of Things, Smart Logistics, Industry 4.0 and Smart Building/City.
In the field of study Surveying, two Master's degree programmes are offered for specialisation.
The Master's programme in surveying deepens the topics from the Bachelor's programme in Surveying and Geoinformatics on concrete objects, especially in the area of land management and engineering surveying.
The international Master's degree programme Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics 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.
The Master's programme in Urban Planning can be chosen as an interface programme to architecture. BA graduates from surveying and geoinformatics benefit here from their existing knowledge of geoinformatics and land management..
Graduates of the Bachelor's degree programme in Digitisation and Information Management can choose from the Master's degree programmes in Computer Science (Master's degree programme in Digital Processes and Technologies, Master's degree programme in Software Technology), Business (Master's degree programme in Environmental Logistics) or Surveying (Master's degree programme in Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics) at HFT Stuttgart.
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.
Since 2009, topometric GmbH has had the privilege of teaching close-range photogrammetry at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences. It does a valuable job of integrating the topic of industrial measurement technology and practical experience into the course.

Marcel Grießhaber, Hannes Plott and Adrian Schäffler have been working together on a complete solution for digitizing object shapes. With a new measurement process, they are helping CAD users in companies to digitize physical components quickly and cost-effectively. To do this, the team has developed its own measurement system, including software. "We want to revolutionize the world of measurement processes with this," the three founders confidently declare.

As part of the NeMDa project (New Methods of Data Processing in the Water-Energy-Nexus), a workshop between New York University (NYU) and the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences took place from 23.05 - 27.05.2022. Four students from the HFT Stuttgart travelled together to New York to network with the workshop participants and present their work. They were accompanied by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sonja Bauer and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Detlef Pape.

Until recently, Jörg Sommer-König was working on his Bachelor's thesis in the Surveying and Geoinformatics degree programme, testing various GNSS measurement methods for his employer, with whom he has concluded a study-accompanying education contract. His studies were made easier thanks to the study-accompanying education contract - the financial support was particularly helpful, but also the additional practical experience in the workplace.

The rapidly advancing digitalization is also becoming increasingly important at the university. As part of a bachelor's thesis in the surveying and geoinformatics course, a virtual tour is being created that makes it possible to visit areas of the university at the click of a mouse and call up important information about the course of study.

With a LiDAR sensor integrated in the camera module, the latest models of the iPhone Pro and iPad Pro can be used as 3D laser scanners. Are these the surveying devices of the future? Are the results suitable for professional applications in surveying and geoinformatics? Answers to this question are to be found in a final thesis in the Master's degree programme in Surveying, in which the laser scanning function of an iPad Pro is being intensively tested.

With more than 200 registered participants, AGSE 2021 (Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment) took place from November 24-26 as a hybrid conference - with a broadcast studio at HFT Stuttgart as well as streaming from the rooms of the partner university in Nepal. The continuous participation of 40 to 70 participants from (almost) all parts of the world over three days was a huge success.
