The third year (semesters 5 and 6) offers more key supporting subjects such as parameter 
estimation, digital image processing, digital sensor technology and an in-depth treatment 
of geodesy, photogranunctry and surveying. In addition, a minimum of 10 h sélectives as 
indicated in Table 1 must be chosen. 
The fourth year (semesters 7 and 8) sees only very little course work in the mandatory 
portion; this part is rather dominated by project studies, seminars and field courses. 
Course work is mainly restricted to sélectives, whereby a minimum of 12 h must be taken. 
Table 2 indicates the number of mandatory and the minimum number of selective "contact 
hours" for the surveyor. The individual courses are compressed into condensed terms.
