General Information
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.
