new International Master program in “Cartography & Geoinformatics” Stefan Peters, TU München

Joint Master program Cartography & Geoinformatics Nov. 2009 Stefan.Peters@bv.tum.de new Master program in Cartography & Geoinformatics

Why a new Master program ? demand for graduated Cartographers in research & industry changes in university-cartographic-education “…there are hundreds of universities throughout the world where cartography courses are given, most of them are introductory courses …” “…there are a limited number of Universities and advanced technical colleges where students may specialize in cartography on top of a basic program in geography or in geodesy. …” “ …Cartography education in Europe changes as the conversion to Bachelor/Master system within the ongoing Bologna process continues…” ORMELING F. (2008): Mapping the Changes in Cartographic Education in the Last 50 Years, Kartographische Nachrichten 4/2008. Nov. 2009 Stefan.Peters@bv.tum.de new Master program in Cartography & Geoinformatics
