What you will study

A wide-ranging methodological education including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and data analysis is an important part of the geography degree course: from the representation and visualization of spatial data and structures to their interpretation. Transdisciplinarity and the diversity of geographical topics enable the combination of different elements from the natural and human sciences and thus a comprehensive understanding of complex interrelationships.
