This combined degree program of five years full-time study enables
a student to qualify for the award of the two degrees of Bachelor
of Science in Computer Science and Bachelor of Engineering in
Surveying & Spatial Information Systems. The program authority
for the combined degree is the School of Surveying & Spatial
Information Systems. The program is open to all students who satisfy
both the Surveying & Spatial Information Systems and
Computer Science entry conditions.
The program is specifically designed for students wishing to enter
a career in Surveying & Spatial Information Systems specialising
in surveying, satellite positioning, spatial data handling for
land and geographic information systems, remote sensing, digital
mapping and terrain analysis. The content of the program comprises
courses from the BSc in Computer Science and BE degree courses
with some variations to accommodate the requirements of both degrees.
The selection of courses from both programs is flexible and it
should be possible to complete the requirements for the award
of the BE degree after four years study and the BSc degree after
five years.
From 2006 students may also apply via the "Faculty
of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS)" ... FEAS

This combined program is not offered in an external
mode (e.g. distance / correspondence) or part time
(in the sense of evening classes only).
Attendance during the day is required for many of the courses.
However it is possible to spread the degree over more years and
do only a few courses each semester. There are two semesters of
14 weeks of classes each, per year, plus some exam weeks, allowing
many other weeks per year for full time employment. This allows
students to work some days per week, and study/ attend on other
days.
In 2006 a revised program is being introduced, that ultimately
will lead to a new BE/BS program. In 2006 a "flexible first
year" will allow students to select several elective courses
from across the faculty and delay selection of which engineering
specialty they wish to follow until the second year. In 2007 the
revised year two will be introduced, in 2008 the revised year
three, and so on.
