Abstract

With more than 30 years of experience in hydrographic education, the HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU) provides a sophisticated study programme specialised in the field of hydrography which has been certified as a Category A programme by the FIG/IHO/ICA International Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers. The programme is completely taught in English and can be completed within two years. Next to profound theoretical courses, the HCU’s hydrography programme offers plenty of practical exercises on board of its own shallowwater research vessel DVocean. Apart from educational modules, several hydrographic research projects are conducted at HCU to further contribute to the ever rising research interest of the hydrographic sector.
