Abstract:a short description and a list is given of the education at 
the different universities of the FRG. 
1.Preliminaries 
In the FRG,a country of 62 million inhabitants,there excist in the 
field of surveying eleven universities,where students can reach the 
first graduation,and ten universities,where they can reach the second 
one of their studies.On all these universities every student will 
have informations of photogrammetry and remote sensing but in diferent 
kinds for there is no fixed plan of the studies all over the country 
but only on the different universities. 
Also in some other universities in the field of geology,geography, 
archaeology and architects informations of photogrammetry and remote 
sensing will be given but normally only in the field of photointer- 
pretation. 
2.Kind of education 
In the added list special informations of the studies on the diffe- 
rent universities are given.There is to be seen,that the number of 
students,of lessons (lectures) and of exercises are quite different 
and also the kind of hardware,which is available in the universities. 
Till to-day a great lot of the universities own an analytical plot- 
ter but not all of them.Studies in image processing are only done 
in the universities with the second graduation. 
3.Final remarks 
In front of the study at an university the students have to finish 
a practice study of different length.After the examinations at the 
universities most of the students will go to the government survey 
authorities in order to finish anadministrative examination.If they 
succeed they can do not only engineering surveys but also administra- 
tive ones.
