Wie ist der Masterstudiengang in Geoinformationstechnologie aufgebaut?

The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) with the specialization, the Master Research Unit (MRU), Geoinformation Technology comprises five central theory and context modules, a block module, events and project work to deepen the subject knowledge and a Master's thesis. The one-week block module in the third semester and the theory modules and context modules in the first two semesters take place at four central locations in Switzerland, while the in-depth modules take place exclusively at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland in Muttenz. Lectures, seminars and colloquia are held one day a week in the first and second semesters to deepen specialist knowledge and skills. Topics of the first semester are Spatio-Temporal Data Modelling (semantic-spatial-temporal) and geosensors; topics of the second semester are geo-visualization and multimedia cartography as well as geo-analysis and mobile geo-information (with wayfinding / routing). In addition, there are in-depth projects on various topics, such as geomarketing, 3D city modelling or geodata infrastructures in the first semester with one day per week and web geo-visualization, mobile mapping or 3D LBS in the second semester on two weekdays. In the third semester, a practice-oriented research project is carried out and the Master's thesis is written. There are also the central modules.
