Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Surveying] From University of Otago

The Bachelor of Surveying (BSurv) degree leads to a diverse but exceedingly rewarding professional career. It is comprised of four main areas of study:

• measurement science (i.e. the techniques of spatial measurement)
• cadastral studies (i.e. issues such as who own the land, how much do they own, and what is the extent of their ownership)
• resource management, including the design and layout of housing developments and lifestyle blocks
• spatial information studies (i.e. the concepts behind the capture, management and display of spatial data when it is in its digital form).
• The professional education provided by the BSurv (which also includes on-job training) produces surveying graduates who are recognised, internationally, as being of the highest quality.

The BSurv degree has both a core component as well as a range of elective options. If a high standard is achieved the degree may be awarded with distinction or credit. In addition, a very able student can complete a four year Bachelor of Surveying with Honours (BSurv(Hons)) degree and/or a five year double degree.
