The master program Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics is research-based and makes use of the unique capabilities available at KIT in these fields. The first and second semesters of the two-year program set a common basis in remote sensing and geoinformatics techniques and applications. At the same time, a selection of one out of six profiles allows for an individual specialization according to the student's interests. Two lab rotations in the third semester allow students detailed insights into the scientific work of self-selected research groups at KIT and beyond, and help them gain hands-on research experience.
A six-month MSc thesis is completed in the fourth semester. Successful students are awarded the degree Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics. The program language is English. Selected supplementary courses in any language may be chosen from other KIT programs to complement the desired profile of the students.

Frequently asked questions
- When does the new programme start? - Winter term 2018/2019.
- Where do I find information on registration? - On the SLE web page for this programme.
- Do I meet the language requirements? - You do if you have obtained one of the test scores listed in the Zugangssatzung (see SLE page linked above), or have taken English lessons continuously from 8th grade to the German Abitur.
- I have a BSc degree in X. Do I qualify for the MSc programme? - If your BSc is in Geodesy, Geophysics, Geoecology, Geosciences, Meteorology or similar, the answer is likely yes. Details need to be clarified individually.
- Who can I contact with further questions? - Dr. Michael Mayer; Consulting hours, Tuesdays 11:30 -13:00 (building 01:90 (Kaiserstr. 14), room 103; wrt Corona Pandemic within zoom, for details see ILIAS course of the teaching unit)
- Are there FAQs for enrolled students? - Yes, please check out this (only available inside KIT)
- Do I fulfill the requirements to start a Lab Rotation? - If you want to start a lab rotation, this has to be handled within CAMPUS. The lab rotation modules 1/2 will only be available, if the requirements for the modules are fulfilled (45 credits). So, if you are able to select a lab rotation module within CAMPUS, you are allowed to start the lab rotation. Before you do so, the examination board has to confirm the plan of your lab rotation. Therefore, the supervisor of your lab rotation has to provide a time schedule / working plan. And you have to apply for this lab rotation by sending a short email (providing the time schedule / working plan) to the RSGI examination board. There are no temporal restrictions. Lab rotation can start at any time (winter term, summer term), if the above mentioned process is taken into account.
