Annotation

The Bachelor's degree programme GeoVisual Design - Geomatics does particular justice to today's information society, which is characterised by digital media, as it offers an unusually broad education tailored to these needs. The combination of cartographic design methods with geomedical content is unique in this form in the German-speaking world and represents a special characteristic of the programme.

This variety of visualisation possibilities requires a sound education in cartographic production methods and cartographic design as well as a confident handling of the media-technical requirements and quality features of a cartographic visualisation, because today, up to the 3D model, video clip or GeoApp, the most different media can be part of a geovisualisation. Cartography and geomedia technology are thus the two key qualifications for visualising spatially related data in a contemporary way, while ensuring that the interaction between cartographic design and media technology presentation and functional diversity works. 3D & virtual reality, interaction design, media design, environmental issues and the development of apps are skills that are in great demand and are taught during the course of the degree course, opening up a broad, innovative professional field for graduates.

The bachelor's degree programme in GeoVisual Design – Geomatics is practice-oriented. Graduates of the programme are experts for geoinformation and develop, design and realise products and processes or workflows in the wide spectrum of geodata processing, visualisation and geodata management. Interactive media are a matter of course. You work in public administration, in private cartography companies, in the geoinformation or media industry or are self-employed. Greater Munich is particularly recommended here as a leading location for the geoinformation and media industry in Germany.
