Bachelor Surveying and Geoinformatics

The earth! It is the workplace of engineers in surveying and geoinformatics, or "geodesists" for short. It is their job to record, map and visualize the world in 3D.

As diverse as our earth is, as comprehensive are the fields of application of geoinformation engineers. On the page "What is surveying and geoinformatics?" you can find a compilation about the diverse professional field.

During your studies you will learn all the necessary basics needed to perform these exciting tasks responsibly. You will learn about different measuring instruments, measuring and evaluation methods and software programmes.

This is achieved through lectures and practical exercises. The involvement of external lecturers as well as modern measuring equipment and software support an up-to-date, practical degree programme. The degree programme can be customised in various ways, especially when choosing the specialisation ‘Surveying’ or ‘Geoinformatics’.
STUDY & WORK offers the opportunity to study under conditions similar to those of a dual study programme.

The course language is german!

For further profile enhancement, three master's degree programs are offered at the HFT Stuttgart. Our graduates have excellent career prospects and are ingreat demand both at home and abroad!

Especially studying at a partner university in the course of an exchange semester offers the following advantages:

• simple application procedure
• regulated recognition of achievements
• no tuition fees
• easier access to student residences

The application for the bachelor's programme Surveying and Geoinformatics is done online.

Prerequisite for admission is the certificate of the general higher education entrance qualification, the subject-related higher education entrance qualification or the advanced technical college entrance qualification.

No pre-study internship is required! If you have no relevant training, it might be worth considering the future job description and doing a short internship before you start studying. Possibilities for this exist in surveying or engineering offices, in planning and consulting offices, in the public service at federal, state and local level, in construction companies, in industry (e.g. mechanical engineering, plant construction), in equipment development, in software companies or in research institutions. Address such places in your place of residence. They will usually be happy to help you.

Graduates of "geodesy courses" have the best prospects for an exciting and versatile job. The demand for qualified specialists is very high!

Due to a wide range of tasks, there are numerous jobs in the most diverse areas of public administrations, the free economy and research.

The use of the latest technologies also opens up new fields of activity.

For further education, the HFT Stuttgart offers the following advanced Master's degree programs:

• Master Surveying
• Master Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics
• Master Urban Planning
