Studying geodesy and geoinformatics - a German university perspective
Abstract
This paper describes the discipline of geodesy and geoinformatics with a focus on university studies and career opportunities. It is shown how the discipline contributes to the solutions of major societal challenges such as sustainable development, mobility, and global change. Then, the structure of German universities is shortly reviewed, followed by an overview of where in the country the discipline can be studied. Finally, the example of Leibniz University Hannover, one of the prime centers of excellence in the field, is described in more detail with a focus on the M.Sc. programme. We hope to encourage young talents to consider this exciting field of studies for their future career.
