Study Areas
|
This course prepares graduates for the rapidly growing spatial information industry. Surveying and the spatial sciences are relied upon in an increasingly wide range of applications, such as environmental management, civil and mining engineering, land planning and development, within both government and private enterprise. The course involves an integrated approach to the science and technologies of measurement, mapping, analysis and visulisation of data.
In the final year of the course, students select from either of two specialisations:
- Spatial information systems
- Land surveying

Career opportunities
|
The spatial information industry is experiencing strong growth, with a national undersupply of qualified graduates. High graduate employment rates are expected to continue. Graduates find employment in a wide range of areas including:
- land surveying - measuring and defining land ownership boundaries; spatial control for projects such as roads and bridges
- spatial and geographic information systems - computer management, mapping and analysis of spatial information
- photogrammetry and remote sensing - measurement, mapping and data analysis from aircraft and satellite sensors
- geodesy and geodetic surveying - science of the measurement and mapping of the earth's surface using satellite and terrestrial data
- hydrographic surveying - measuring and mapping in a marine environment
Graduates are eligible for membership of the Institution of Surveyors, Australia.
