MSc Geoinformatics for Urbanised Society at University of Tartu

11/03/2026

One part of our curriculum is a study abroad semester. Our second-year student Benjamin returned from Ruhr University Bochum 🇩🇪 and shares his experience.

🔹How do you look back at your semester in Bochum?
The Erasmus program allowed me to study abroad on exchange and enhanced my life in many ways. It provided me the chance to live in Bochum and expand my network, explore a different student life, and experience other coursework opportunities. Specifically, the course “Artificial Intelligence: Fundamentals and Geographical Applications” was beneficial for my thesis involving deep learning. Overall, I am very satisfied with my time spent abroad and would
encourage anyone who can to take advantage of this great opportunity.
