Bachelor of Surveying (Honours)

This program prepares students for the surveying profession. Students learn to use specialised equipment and software that will allow them to work on a diverse variety of projects from land subdivision and mining exploration, to tunnel building and major construction. The first two years cover general aspects of surveying and mapping. Students then study specific fields such as cadastral and engineering surveying, GPS positioning, geodesy, survey network design, land development, geographic information systems, remote sensing, photogrammetry, environmental studies, professional practice and business studies. These are supplemented by specialised higher-level surveying subjects. The course focuses on practical skills through field exercises, survey camps, and 12 weeks of professional experience prior to graduation.
