Abstract

The joint Master of Science in Cartography, a co-operation be-tween three technical universities, Technical University of Munich, Ger-many (TUM), Technical University of Dresden, Germany (TU Dresden), Germany, and Technical University of Vienna (TU Vienna), Austria, was established in 2011. The new international Master program "Cartography" aims at educating highly qualified scientists in cartography and cartogra-phy-related academic fields. The curriculum is constructed following inter-national standards in terms of a quality management system covering the whole process from student selection to the supervision of thesis work. It is unique due to its focus on cartography and its status as the first English language program in German speaking countries. The final qualification is a "joint degree" from the participating universities TUM, TU Dresden and TU Vienna, each contributing to the program with an equal amount of credit points. In this paper we would like to share our experiences gained from the first 1,5 years since the program was introduced. Furthermore we will high-light the program features, the added values, participants’ statistics, and an overview of students’ feedback.
