International Students
The Institute of Geoinformatics welcomes students from all over the world each year. While our bachelor program is taught in German, the master and doctoral programs are taught completely in English. A good command of the English language is necessary for the acceptance into the programs. Assistance with obtaining visas and scholarships is provided by the International Office.
Student Council
The student council, in German short "Fachschaft", consists of voluntary geoinformatics students who stand up for students' rights, organize networking events, are members of official university committees and always support students with appearing problems and questions.
