About this program
Bachelors in Geodesy, Cartography and Geoinformatics
The study program is designed primarily for students who are interested in geography and information technology. Students will learn in detail how to acquire so-called spatial (geographic) data (using global navigation satellite systems, satellites or drones), store (using database systems), process and analyze and last but not least visualize and publish, whether in the form of standard maps or Internet services. Students acquire comprehensive knowledge of geographic information systems and geoinformation technologies and knowledge needed to develop their own applications. The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to continue their studies in follow-up studies or find employment in a number of public institutions and private companies using spatial data.
The aim of the program is to prepare both graduates who can master the technical themes at the application level and with sufficient theoretical basis for further study. They will be able both to actively work with existing applications of relevant technologies. They will be exercisable in both the state and local governments as well as in the private sector and further develop his / her theoretical knowledge through further studies
