SPUC-SURVY v.1 Surveying and Spatial Sciences Specialisation
Specialisation Overview
Specialisations/Minors prepare students to develop broad knowledge about an additional discipline area or same discipline area that complements their study in an award course. Some Specialisations may assist students to progress into postgraduate studies, but have specific entry requirements.
The Surveying and Spatial Science Specialisation (SPUC-SURVY) aims to enhance your knowledge and skills as a mining engineer in the field of surveying. It will enable you to perform higher level surveying tasks, allowing you to assess different surveying techniques and technologies in regards to their precision, accuracy, capability, and applicability in a mining context. In this specialisation you are exposed to advanced coordinate and mapping systems as well as state-of-the-art surveying equipment and technologies such as precise GPS surveying, drone mapping, and remote sensing. The skills you learn will be applied in a customised project
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.
Specialisation Entry and Completion Details
Students may be eligible to study a specialisation/minor where the course includes a minimum of 100 elective credits. Credit permitting, students can elect to study a maximum of two specialisations/minors. Students may need to request that Student Services add a specialisation/minor to their study plan if it is not included in the course structure and credit permitting. The number of specialisations/minors available for study is dependent on the course of study. For entry into some specialisations/minors students are required to meet certain criteria. Students will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Students who have a certain level of maths and meet the pre-requisites for the individual units within this specialisation will be able to select it.
Credit for Recognised Learning
Applications for credit towards a course are assessed on an individual basis. Credit reduces the amount of learning required to complete the course and may be granted for formal education qualifications, non-formal learning from non-award programs of study and informal learning through work experiences.
