Bachelor of Surveying (Honours)

Map the world from outer space The work of surveyors knows no bounds and could see you play an important role within your local community, across countries and continents. Become capable in providing engineering certainty to the Australian community.

Be involved in projects like designing new land developments or new roads, supporting mine operations, or preparing topographical maps using highly accurate positioning systems and drones. Work on preparations for building of a new tunnel or mapping of flood areas for disaster preparedness. Globally, your work as a surveyor could see you involved in monitoring earthquake impacts, mapping the ocean floor. Studying Earth’s gravity, determining satellite orbits, or monitoring and mapping environmental changes via satellite data. This program includes a number of practical fieldwork related classes, providing students with an opportunity to undertake real world exercises, often with the support of local land and mining surveyors. Hear from our first year surveying student about his project and testing at Demo Day. All engineering students complete 12 weeks of industrial experience during their degree. This can be achieved in one block or as shorter placements of no less than two weeks. Through your work placement, you’ll build critical professional networks and put your learning into practice. Surveyors are involved in the collection, manipulation, storage and sharing of spatial data in relation to land, sea, space, forensics and medicine, to name just a few. Many industry surveyors are experts in measurement and measurement systems. All University of Newcastle engineering students must complete 12-weeks of industrial experience. During your industrial experience, you will build important professional networks and put your learning into practice.
