Our Geomatics postgraduate degree course is a three-semester study programme at the second cycle level (Master's degree). The first two semesters are reserved for lectures and practical parts of the programme, while the last semester is dedicated to the development of the Master's thesis. The modules of the first two semesters may be grouped in Geodesy, Geoinformatics, IT, Mathematics, and "Studium Generale" (general studies) subjects. Geodesy focusses on physical geodesy, measurement technology, and land management. Geoinformatics focusses on spatial databases and spatial data infrastructures as well as imagery and remote sensing methods. In addition, fundamental knowledge is provided by modules like Higher Mathematics, Differential Geometry, or Practical Informatics.
The programme is taught in English.
The two semesters of lectures are organised very openly. Consequently, the student can choose five of the listed modules for the first as well as five modules for the second semester. Depending on the number of inscriptions, a module may be offered only once in a year.
Approx. 93 EUR per semester and a one-time charge of 14 EUR for each new student
Approx. 934 EUR per month
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) – 210 credit points – in Surveying, Geodesy, Geoinformatics, Geography, Remote Sensing, or Property Cadastre
Before you apply, test your knowledge: https://www.hs-nb.de/storages/hs-neubrandenburg/studiengaenge-fachbereiche/SG_GEO/Selftest_Geomatics.pdf – you will find a document with typical questions for the entrance test. Take your time, and take the test. You do not need to fill in your answers in the application. Instead, evaluate your ability to answer the questions yourself. If you have serious difficulties answering more than 50% of these questions, it does NOT make sense for you to apply for the Master's programme in Geomatics, as you lack the necessary foundational knowledge for the entry level.
Applicants from non-EU countries who are not graduates of our partner universities and who apply with a Bachelor's degree usually have to complete a preparatory semester. This "pre-semester" serves to guarantee the formal and professional requirements and can be studied online from the applicant's home country. An expert jury decides on the basis of the transcripts of all applicants whether the "pre-semester" is necessary.
Applicants must provide proof of their language skills:
English B2 level: TOEFL, TOEFL iBT 72-94, IELTS 5.5-6.0, Cambridge Certificate B2 First or equivalent.
Applicants from countries with English as the official and educational language do not need to present a language certificate. If the Bachelor's degree was studied entirely in English, a confirmation from the university is sufficient to prove your English skills.
Proficiency in German is not required. However, we recommend that prospective students obtain a rudimentary competence in German to aid their day-to-day activities in Germany.

The university is opening a career centre for our international students.
Since its founding in 1991, the University of Applied Sciences in Neubrandenburg has developed into an academic centre and driving force in teaching, research, and continuing education for the region. Currently, approximately 2,200 young people study in four faculties, which offer a total of 33 Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. A practical approach is adopted towards the research and teaching that take place at our University of Applied Science.
We work in close cooperation with businesses and institutions from within our region. Each course of study includes at least one practical semester or provides varied practical work experience. Research projects help students obtain management and scientific research skills that they can put to good use in their future professions.
To help our students gain multidisciplinary key competences, we have developed additional opportunities within the context of the StudiumPlus project. We are adapting existing courses of study to modern scientific, occupation-specific and professional requirements in cooperation with regional, national, and international partners. We are also creating new courses of study as well as new and continuing education opportunities.
The University of Applied Sciences in Neubrandenburg champions the equality of men and women, and as a family-friendly university, actively supports attempts to balance family and profession, or family and studies by creating family-friendly work and study conditions as well as a social climate that also allows students with families to pursue their studies, work, and research. Located close to the city centre and Tollense Lake, our campus includes modern seminar and laboratory facilities, a library and further service facilities, the canteen, and four halls of residence. Our university welcomes applications from German and international students as well as from our partners.
Ten reasons to study at the Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences
The city of Neubrandenburg is located halfway between the capital city of Germany, Berlin, and the Baltic coast. It is located in the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District right next to the Tollense Lake, which is only a few minutes away from the University of Applied Sciences by foot.
Through its support for Olympic athletes, Neubrandenburg is known as a "sports city", whilst the historic fortified wall and the four Gothic city gates also give it the name “the city of four gates”. The largest and most significant monument of North German Brick Gothic is St Mary’s Church. It is a concert hall today and offers exceptional acoustics. Neubrandenburg currently has approximately 65,000 inhabitants. The family-friendly community welcomes students.
