Bachelor (Honours)
Our degree has been developed to meet the needs of industry, offering a pathway to become a licensed surveyor. It is supported and partially funded by the Surveyors Board of South Australia.
Beyond the classroom, you will gain practical skills through field trips, hands-on projects and real-world research.
In your first year, you will study core engineering courses. You'll then move to gain specialised knowledge and skills in surveying, remote sensing, cartography, photogrammetry, business management and much more.
At least half of your honours year involves a major project. Projects are generally supported by industry clients, or based in a research centre. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.
You can gain an extra qualification and broaden your career prospects by completing a Diploma in Languages.
Graduates may find work with private surveying consultancies, engineers, architects and land developers. Surveyors also liaise with land-owners, service authorities and government bodies on land development.
There is a forecast shortage of surveyors across Australia. This means increased job opportunities for students considering a career in surveying over the next 10 years*.
