Programme Specification for Civil Engineering Surveying and Mapping Sciences (Major, Joint or Minor)
Campus: Docklands
Why Study Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
A unique programme in the UK - combining Civil Engineering Surveying with Surveying and Mapping Sciences. No other UK institution offers a programme in Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences.
The Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences programme integrates the different threads of the science and application of Geomatics in the professional environment as one programme of study.
Our programmes are highly regarded by industry and our students usually readily find employment within the surveying or civil engineering sectors.
What will I study?
The science of Surveying, also known as Land Surveying or Geomatics, is a specialisation that brings together the collection, processing, analysis, presentation and management of spatial information. This includes the subjects of land surveying, geodesy, photogrammetry, laser scanning, remote sensing, hydrographic surveying, mapping and cadastral surveying alongside the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and software.
Civil Engineering Surveying is an important discipline in the Civil Engineering and Construction sectors where core surveying knowledge is applied in the particular circumstances of the construction environment and is used at all stages of the development process – from initial concept through construction to completion and monitoring.
Which modules will I study?
You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences.
Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?
All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
What career opportunities are open to me if I study Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences ?
The skills acquired on this programme will provide a firm foundation for your future career, whether you choose to stay in the surveying field or choose to follow a profession outside the sector. As a graduate of this programme you will be highly proficient in both specialised geomatic skills and in key transferable skills valued by employers such as data collection and analysis, communication, numeracy, computing and scientific principles.
Your future career might be in Land or Sea Surveying, Civil Engineering, Construction, Cadastral Surveying, Environmental Assessment, Archaeology or Forensic site investigation. You might work on large or small-scale projects, in project management or in land development activities. Some graduates have moved to careers in business, management and finance.
Students regularly continue their studies on post-graduate programmes at UEL and at other institutions in subjects such as Environmental Management, Geographic Information Science and specialised areas of surveying.
Long- term career potential is good and surveying continues to be a professional skill in demand.
What can I combine with Civil Engineering Surveying & Mapping Sciences?
We have over 5000 different combinations and you can choose from over 75 pathways. Please visit this page www.uel.ac.uk/combined/programmes for a full list.
