Surveyors and geospatial scientists measure, map and model our world. They play a critical role in the decisions that affect our society and influence the world of tomorrow.

In this degree you will delve into the science of collecting, analysing and interpreting geographic information using advanced tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), 3D laser scanners and drones. You will learn how to manipulate and visualise complex data sets, extract meaningful insights, and communicate your findings using advanced techniques.

Through hands-on projects and case studies, you will gain practical experience in analysing and solving real-world problems such as environmental management, climate change impacts, urban planning, natural resource management and disaster response planning.

Our expert teaching staff will guide you through the latest trends and innovations in geospatial science, including big data analytics and geospatial modelling. You will develop strong practical skills in this course that are in high demand and will set you up for a rewarding career.

The (optional) articulation pathway to a fourth year of study in the Graduate Diploma of Land Surveying also provides advanced knowledge and skills primarily for students wishing to continue on to registration as a Land Surveyor upon graduation.

Learning Outcomes

1 Generate and evaluate geospatial data using advanced methods and technologies.
2 Create tailored geospatial solutions to address real-world challenges
3 Exhibit autonomy, judgement, and responsibility in applying geospatial knowledge and skills.
4 Communicate geospatial analyses and outcomes to clients, associated professionals and the wider community.

Career outcomes

This degree provides a pathway to a variety of careers across an increasingly wide range of industries within both government and private enterprise including cadastral surveying, land planning and development, environmental management, civil engineering, mining and agriculture.

Every industry on Earth utilises geospatial sciences in some way, and graduates have many career options available to them, such as:

Geospatial analyst and GIS specialist
Remote Sensing specialist
Land & Engineering Surveyor
Hydrographic Surveyor
Geodesist
Geographic Information Systems officer

Professional Accreditation

The Bachelor of Geospatial Science (Surveying Major) is an externally accredited degree.

This course is accredited by the Tasmanian Land Surveyors Accreditation Board and the Malaysian Land Surveyors Board.

Graduates will partially meet the requirements for entry as a candidate for registration with the Tasmanian Land Surveyors Accreditation Board and the Malaysian Land Surveyors Board. There are additional requirements for registration beyond the completion of this course including completion of a fourth year of study at AQF 8 via the Graduate Diploma of Land Surveying (or equivalent).
