Graduates have the opportunity to travel as the degree is readily accepted overseas. After some years of experience they may become managers or specialise. Surveyors may also work in one of the related fields such as geographic information systems, remote sensing or photogrammetry.
Overview
The Bachelor of Surveying degree is a broad-based course. The first year is a foundation year designed to prepare students to deliver practical solutions to problems involving spatial information and decision-making. Students study foundation units such as mathematics, physic, computing skills, environmental science as well s surveying in their first year In the following years the areas covered are geodetic and control surveying, topographic mapping, photogrammetry, mine surveying, hydro graphic surveying, land development design and geographic information systems.
Professional Recognition
Australia: The Bachelor of Surveying degree meets the requirements for membership of The Spatial Science Institute(Incorporating the Institution of Surveyors, Australia, the Institution of Engineering and Mining Surveyors, Australia and the Mapping Sciences Institute, Australia).
Overseas: Surveying graduates are readily accepted internationally.
Minors
Subject to the approval of the course coordinator, students may be able to choose a minor area of study. A minor is a collection of four units from the one study area, that totals 48 credit points. Students may choose from the list of minors, available from the office of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering.
Special Course Requirements
Students are required to attend compulsory field practicals off-campus in the Moreton Region and have access to an advanced scientific calculator for use during the course. Students must obtain at least 90 days of industrial experience/practice in a surveying/mapping environment, approved by the course coordinator.
