In the Master's degree program, the scientific qualifications acquired in the Bachelor's degree program are further deepened and complemented. The goal of the Master's degree program is to provide the ability to apply scientific knowledge and methods independently, and to evaluate their meaning and range of influence for the solution of complex scientific and societal problems.

The graduates of the Master's degree program geodesy and geo-informatics have well-founded knowledge in current and future-oriented methods of further processing and analyzing temporal and spatial data. They have technical, methodological and legal detailed knowledge in geodesy and geo-informatics, and have deepened insight in selected professional areas for geodesists. Based on their broad knowledge, they can name, describe, and develop advanced research relevant problems with potential for innovation in the area of geodesy and geo-informatics. They have well-founded self-experienced and reflected knowledge and expertise in methods of knowledge acquisition, in order to become acquainted with advanced problems.

They are comprehensively able to independently analyze, evaluate and practically implement survey problems. They are able to choose suitable methods for analyzing temporal and spatial data, apply them constructively, and develop and evaluate solutions for specific problems in their area of expertise. They have the ability to apply and evaluate their acquired knowledge in a professional as well as in an interdisciplinary setting.

The graduates are able to selectively collect relevant information, in particular in challenging scenarios, and to analyze, evaluate, document, visualize and to present them. They can independently become acquainted with current research relevant topics and complex problems, and can drastically analyze, interpret and evaluate them. They are able to comprehensively work on a given or self-developed concrete problem in a self-organized and solution-oriented way. They classify area-specific and interdisciplinary problems, and choose resp. develop suitable methods for collecting, analyzing and evaluating relevant measurement data. They know how to document, merge, illustrate and interpret in a solution-oriented and comprehensive manner the obtained results.

They are able to work independently as well as in a team, and can assume leading functions in interdisciplinary projects. They can comprehensively and thoroughly consult English-language technical literature, argue area-specifically and can discuss and defend their arguments adapted to experts as well as to laypersons in the German and English language.

The practical handling of area-specific knowledge is performed under consideration of societal, scientific and ethic aspects.
