This four-year degree program is aimed at preparing the graduate
for a broad range of career opportunities.
The degree program covers general scientific principles with special
emphasis on surveying and computing, as well as other specialised
Surveying & Spatial Information Systems applications. Theoretical
studies are complemented by practical exercises in the field and
in the laboratory.
The course covers the entire range of subjects that make up the
discipline of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems including
computer graphics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), photogrammetry,
remote sensing, satellite positioning & GPS, cadastral &
engineering surveying, mapping, geodesy, land management, and
land development.
From 2006 students may also apply via the "Faculty
of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS)" ... FEAS

The Bachelor of Engineering in Surveying & SIS 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 Year 4 some of the courses are taught at night.
In 2006 a revised program is
being introduced, that ultimately will lead to a new four-year
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 of
the BE (SSIS) program will be introduced, in 2008 the revised
year three, and in 2009 the revised year four.
