About the programme
Cartography is an international Erasmus Mundus Master of Science run by TUM with Vienna University of Technology, TU Dresden and the University of Twente. It is taught entirely in English over four semesters with 120 ECTS, starts in the winter semester (October), and each semester takes place at a different partner university. The programme covers the visual representation, analysis and exploration of the digital Earth, with a focus on data modelling, data analysis and the visualisation of geographical information. Beyond the fundamentals, it concentrates on readable, attractive and user-friendly visualisation of geographical data and on new methods in web and internet cartography. Cartographic analysis matters in many fields, from environmental and climate protection to geology, spatial planning, agriculture and forestry. Graduates have in-depth competence across the whole field of cartography. Admission is through an aptitude assessment.
