This program will have no further intakes after SP5 2022.

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering before moving into your surveying major, where you will study topics such as:

• Spatial data acquisition and analysis
• Surveying processes
• Environmental remote sensing
• Web cartography
• Geodetic surveying
• Cadastral surveying
• Surveying specializations
• Contemporary surveying practices

You will also get hands-on experience across a range of surveying activities and learn how to operate industry-standard surveying equipment. This includes:

• Reality capture using terrestrial laser scanners, drones, and unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs)
• Surveying using Trimble Robotic Total Stations and survey-grade global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)
• Leveling with optical levels and precise digital levels
• Field camps to apply your skills in a real-world environment

The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program then allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you’ve acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

Graduate industry-ready with the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies.

At least half of your honors year involves a major project, generally supported by industry clients or based in a research center. 

Projects are designed to foster the consolidation and application of the surveying skills and techniques learned throughout your degree to ensure you graduate prepared for the challenges of professional practice.
