Geodesy and Geoinformatics Numerus Clausus

Geodesy and Geoinformatics Programs in Germany with Admission Restriction - Numerus Clausus/NC (2026/27)

Geodesy and Geoinformatics NC

Geodesy & Geoinformatics programs in Germany position international students at the forefront of measuring, mapping, and managing our planet’s spatial data in a country globally recognized for precision engineering, advanced surveying systems, and innovative geospatial technologies. Building on Germany’s leadership in satellite navigation (home to key contributors to Europe’s Galileo system), remote sensing, and GIS-based urban planning, these English-taught programs combine classical geodesy—measuring Earth’s shape, gravity field, and rotation—with cutting-edge geoinformatics, including spatial database management, 3D city modeling, UAV-based photogrammetry, and geospatial AI applications. Students train with state-of-the-art equipment and software such as GNSS receivers, terrestrial laser scanners, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and QGIS in university laboratories that mirror industry settings, while collaborating on real-world projects with government mapping agencies, engineering firms, and environmental organizations.

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
