About
The work of surveyors knows no bounds and could see you play an important role not only within your local community, but also across countries and continents.
Surveyors specialise in the measurement, management, analysis and display of spatial information describing the Earth and its physical features. Surveyors work on the local and global scale, on projects as diverse as the planning of local facilities, to the prediction of earthquakes and mapping of the ocean floor.
Match your technical skills with broad understanding of local and global business environments. Learn how to manage people and projects, start a consulting firm or manage a business. Prepare yourself for a leadership role with this dynamic and flexible skillset.
