Bachelor of Surveying (Honours)
University of Newcastle - Newcastle - Callaghan
Overview
Surveyors specialise in the measurement, management, analysis and display of spatial
information describing the Earth and its physical features. Surveyors are the custodians of the cadastre (land titling system), which is critical to all aspects of the economy. The work of surveyors knows no bounds and could see you play an important role both locally and globally. With the Bachelor of Surveying (Honours), you could be involved in projects like preparation for building of a new tunnel, or mapping of flood areas for disaster preparedness. Your work as a surveyor could see you involved in the prediction of earthquakes and mapping of the ocean floor.
