This hands-on degree provides a strong link between theory and practice in surveying specialisations, including engineering and topographical surveying, cadastral surveying, mining surveying, hydrographic surveying, geodetic surveying, high precision digital infrastructure surveying, land boundary legislation and land development.
Field work, industry projects and work integrated learning opportunities will provide you with real world skills and industry experience. These experiences will build your fundamental knowledge in surveying to understand the application of surveying technology and techniques to different social, cultural, ethical, legal and business contexts.
Career
As a graduate of this surveying degree you will be in high demand, with more than 90% of graduates employed within three months of completing their studies.

Land development – from the planning and design of land subdivision, through to the final construction of roads, utilities, and landscape planning.
