We often notice geoinformatics specialists and surveyors on the streets, wearing their high-visibility vests and carrying measuring instruments and measuring rods, but hardly anyone knows exactly what they’re doing there! This podcast not only provides long-awaited insight but will likely also inspire you to pursue this degree program. After all, “Geoinformatics and Surveying” offers truly soaring heights and exhilarating depth. It’s an interdisciplinary program in which geosciences, mathematics, computer science, and geodesy come together to do nothing less than survey the world. Pauline* talks about it with bachelor’s student Kerstin and master’s student Cédric.
* Note : In the conversation, the term “geoinformatics specialist” is used. This is a shortened reference to the professional title “Engineer in Geoinformatics and Surveying.” It therefore always refers to both subfields of the program.
