Master-Studies

This course series is also divided into compulsory, elective and optional courses. Some of the key compulsory courses which contain remote sensing aspects are the Master thesis (GEO 511), the cross-topic Master exam(GEO 512) as well as the excursions course (GEO 599).

The following specialization electives are offered by the Remote Sensing Laboratories:

Electives:

Course Nr.	Course	Semester	ECTS
GEO 441	Specialization in Remote Sensing: Seminars & Colloquia	8	6
GEO 441.1	Research colloquium
GEO 441.2	Remote Sensing Seminar
GEO 442	Specialization in Remote Sensing: Spectroradiometry and Imaging Spectrometry	7	6
GEO 442.1	Spectroradiometry and Imaging Spectrometry
GEO 442.2	Tutorial in Spectroradiometry and Imaging Spectrometry
GEO 443	Specialization in Remote Sensing: SAR and LIDAR	7	6
GEO 443.1	SAR and LIDAR
GEO 443.2	Tutorial in SAR and LIDAR

The course GEO 803 is strongly recommended as a foundation for GEO 442 and GEO 443. This mini-course, entitled 'Solving Geospatial Problems using Matlab,' is offered towards the end of the summer holidays (late August / early September) and provides a solid foundation in one of today's most-used programming languages. The course includes partial repetition of course elements from GEO 371, while incorporating new knowledge and practical experience.

Course Nr.	Course	Semester	ECTS
GEO 803	Solving Geospatial Problems using Matlab	7	2
GEO 803	Solving Geospatial Problems using Matlab Mini-course, 4 days

For the successful completion of an M.Sc. with a specialization in Remote Sensing, the courses GEO 441, GEO 442 and GEO 443 are all compulsory. The fourth and fifth electives are expected to complement & extend the Master thesis topic whenever possible.
For this reason, all courses from all Units in the Department of Geography are available as electives. The final selection of elective courses should be made together with the Master thesis supervisor.
