BSc Geodesy and Geoinformation at University of Bonn

Geodesy is concerned with the measurement of the earth in global, regional, and local scales. Geoinformation in turn establishes links between the captured data and their geographic location, processing the data with computer-aided techniques and presenting them with digital geoinformation systems. Geodesy and geoinformation is an engineering science that works across disciplines and employs modern measurement technologies, analytical processes and communications media.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Wintersemester (winter semester)  |  Location: Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

The basic modules of the program furnish students with knowledge of engineering mathematics, experimental physics, curve fitting as well as geodesy and geoinformation. Later on, students learn mathematical evaluations of satellite missions that aim to characterize the earth’s gravity field, photogrammetric measuring and evaluation methods as well as design aspects of urban development.

Career pathways

Managerial positions in public surveying administrations (land registries, regional land survey offices), publicly appointed survey engineer, commercial engineering firms, companies (geoinformation, transportation, cartography, photogrammetry, power supply, etc.), banking/real estate, construction industry, technical expert firms/planning offices, real estate departments of large companies
