Bachelor / Specialist Degree Programs
⇓ Geodesy and Remote Sensing

Period of study:
4 years
Mode:
Full-time
RUS
|
|
|---|
|
Focus Areas: • Geodesy
• Space Geodesy and Navigation
• Aerial surveying and photogrammetry • Survey of Natural Resources By Remote Sensing Methods |
Learning Outcomes
use land-, aerial-, and satellite-based measurement methods and information technologies, e.g. through remote sensing
create topographic plans and maps based on survey results
measure objects on the Earth's surface down to the millimeter range and create 3D models
develop solutions for positioning and navigation of objects on Earth, in water, and in the air
learn methods that you can use to determine the Earth's gravitational field
Career Paths:
A geodetic engineer career path can be rewarding and challenging. The majority of geodesists work in land and planning services as surveyors. They work with and for architecture services, taking measurements to ensure that buildings or urban plans are constructed on structurally sound surface, in the right places and that the measurements are aligned.
Geodetic engineers may advance to supervisory or managerial positions. With experience, they may become project managers, working on several projects at one time. Some geodetic engineers move into executive positions in engineering, surveying, mapping, or land management firms. Some become independent consultants.

Focus Areas:
• Engineering Geodesy
• Engineering and Geodetic Provision of Construction and Exploitation of Oil, Gas, and Energy Facilities
|
Learning Outcomes
carry out topographic and geodetic surveying at different scales
gather and apply spatial data using close range methods, aerial and satellite survey.
monitor the external environment using topographic, geodesic and cartographic materials, remote sensing and GIS-technologies
carry out studies in the field of photogrammetric bridging
Career Paths:
Thanks to the broad and diverse skills you acquire in the courses you will be able to master challenges in private industry, in research and development as well as in public service. Our graduates work in organizations and services of different departmental subordination that are engaged in geodesy, engineering surveying, geodetic support, cadastre of real estate and land management. They also carry out special geodetic measurements during exploitation of surface and subsurface of the Earth, create original inventory, and cadastral maps at private topographic-geodesic enterprises.
