Geoinformatics (Dual-Subject Bachelor) at Osnabrück University

Geoinformatics is a new interdisciplinary field with interfaces between Mathematics, Computer Science, Geography, and Business Administration and Economics. It is dedicated to solving spatial issues with the help of computer science concepts. This includes the collection of data with GPS devices, route calculations with navigation systems or risk assessments of contaminated sites in environmental information systems.

What you will study

The integration of Geoinformatics (GI) and remote sensing represents a unique combination of subjects for GI students in Germany with great practical and research relevance. In the Geoinformatics dual-subject Bachelor's degree program, the major focuses on the basics of Mathematics, Computer Science, Cartography and Remote Sensing in addition to Geoinformatics. The minor in Geoinformatics is more technically oriented and, therefore, does not include the basic lectures in computer science and mathematics.

Career pathways

In view of the fact that a very large number of issues in business, administration and science are spatially related, graduates have a wide range of future-oriented fields of application with excellent employment opportunities. Urban, landscape and environmental planning as well as activities in the field of sustainable agriculture or development aid are just a few examples.
