The main goal of the CARTOGRAPHY Master's Program is to educate future engineers in Cartography in combination with Geoinformatics and prepare them either for a scientific career in Cartography or for a career in the industry. The objective of the Master's program in Cartography is that students acquire in-depth expertise in the entire field of cartography. Students will gain fundamental knowledge in spatial data modeling, analysis and visualization of geographic information. Students should be able to use modern theories, methods and procedures relating to the map production and map use in the sense of modern cartography including Geoinformatics. They should participate in research projects and apply them professionally and economically. The students shall have the ability to capture, model, manage, analyze and visualize adequate spatial data with space, time and attribute information.They should be in the position to competently handle databases and geographic information systems and to accomplish adequate graphic data processing for all kinds of user groups. Students shall rule all forms of publications and media like print media or multimedia electronic media including web publishing.
Students shall critically face up to social connecting factors and implications of various techniques and methods for processing and visualization spatial data.
Finally students should be in a position to strongly influence and shape cartography as an independent science with its own research and object of knowledge, but also with strong relations to earth sciences, information sciences and communication science, with skills for the systematic analysis and synthesis of the individual until the whole.
