What our students say:
A thing I also really appreciate about the Master’s in Geodesy and Geoinformation is the community. Since the number of students is pretty small, you get to know people quickly, and everyone helps each other out. The student association (Fachschaft) is really active too, so you never feel lost when you need support or information. It makes the whole program feel more personal and less overwhelming.
The Master’s program in Geodesy and Geoinformation has been very interesting so far. I like that we work with real data and get to apply things instead of only listening to theory. Some courses are challenging, but the instructors are helpful, and the atmosphere in the classes is relaxed. It’s a good mix of tech and practical projects, which keeps it engaging.
