Curtin University

Surveyors use sophisticated technology and scientific principles to provide practical surveying solutions and services to numerous areas of industry and government. The course draws upon elements from a diversity of disciplines, including computing, engineering, environmental science, geography, geology, physics, mathematics and management. You’ll study specialist areas such as cadastral surveying, engineering surveying, geodesy and photogrammetry and related areas such as hydrographic surveying, land development, mine surveying, planning and remote sensing. You’ll also become familiar with high-tech areas such as airborne and marine navigation, drone surveying, digital mapping, land and environmental management, laser scanning, satellite and space positioning and specialised alignment surveying. Graduates can apply for membership of the Geospatial Council of Australia and the WA Institute of Surveyors. To become a licensed surveyor requires an additional two years' training. Graduates can apply to the Land Surveyors Licensing Board of Western Australia to enter a practical training agreement. Further licensing in hydrographic surveying and mine surveying is also available.
