Programme Focus
The programme is focused on the problems of rational land use, land monitoring, inventory and conservation, as well as on the students’ acquisition of knowledge and practical skills of using modern technologies for creation of land information systems, land resource monitoring, geodetic support of land surveying and cadastral works with the use of ground and satellite geodetic methods, the results of aerial and space surveys, remotely piloted vehicles, laser scanning.
The students study a wide range of subjects, both general ones such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, the basic concepts of economics and management, ecology, and specialist field subjects such as geodetics, photogrammetry, the basic concepts of geoinformatics, GIS, land monitoring, cartography, real estate cadastre, the basic concepts of land management, etc. Much attention is paid to learning one or more foreign languages.
The specific nature of training involves a close connection of the educational process, science and real production: vocation-related subjects are taught by experienced professors, leading scientists and practitioners from relevant organizations, the practical training is undertaken at the premises of the most advanced land surveying, cadastre, geodetic and appraisal companies and research institutions.
