It is the economic, cultural, sporting and socialhub of a region in the heart of Europe with more than 2.5 millioninhabitants. The city is surrounded by beautiful countryside; the BlackForest and Lake Constance are highlights in southern Germany andare not far away. The University of Applied Sciences (UAS) is locatedin the heart of Stuttgart. The UAS has a long history with a rich traditionin engineering education since 1832.The M.Sc. course aims at educating future decision makers andsenior engineers of information and land management projects,national authorities for mapping, photogrammetry, land consolidation,cadastre, forestry, agriculture, rural and urban planning or environmentmonitoring.-and geoinformatics. An important objective is the transfer of up-to-datetechniques to practice under different technological conditions.Photogrammetric technology is trained on modern digital workstationsincluding sophisticated analytical systems. Focus is on processingaerial photographs, from scanning, automated aero triangulation andacquisition of digital elevation models, to orthoimage generation andtopographic and thematic mapping. Gaining experience in workingwith alternative data sources of increasing importance, like high resolutionremote sensing satellites and radar and airborne laser scanning,round off modern photogrammetric education.acquisition, storage, analysis, retrieval and display of spatial relateddata, concerning both earth’s physical features and the man-madeenvironment. Studying the methods for data modelling in geoinformationsystems, design and handling of diverse databases, GIS-data formats,GIS customisation including programming, all accompanied byintensive training are important parts of the postgraduate course. Mostrecent developments like world wide web technologies, 3D-visualisationand integration of GIS and photogrammetry prepare course participantsfor the future.A full-time research project aiming at the elaboration of a Master’s thesiswithin six months concludes the programme.The course is designed for all kinds of professional producers or usersof geo-data (e.g., in photogrammetry, geodesy, civil engineering, landsurveying, agriculture, cartography, forestry, geography, geology), inparticular from developing countries, who are involved as decisionmakers or project engineers in the acquisition, administration and useof geo-data in the context of geoinformation systems, photogrammetryand remote sensing.English52
