The disciplines of Surveying and Spatial Information Technology/Science/Systems involves the measurement, analysis, management, storage and display of spatial data describing the Earth, its physical features and the built environment. It encompasses professionals in the traditional specialised areas of cadastral surveying, engineering & mining surveying, cartography, computer graphics, photogrammetry, geodesy, and land development. However, as spatial information is increasingly being integrated into business, government and personal decision-making, as the tools and skills of Surveyors and Spatial Information Specialists are finding wider application.

Programs / Degrees

If your UAI is just below the formal cut-off it may still be possible to gain entry via the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS), which usually involves an interview.

The Bachelor of Engineering degrees are not offered in an external mode (e.g. distance / correspondence) or in part time mode (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 attend classes on other days. In Year 4 some of the courses are taught at night.
