Bachelor in Surveying Engineering

High-tech profession in the field of geodata

Without surveying, almost no large-scale project in the world would be possible. Whether it's your mobile phone, a construction site or traffic, every day you use (geo)data that comes from surveying. Even climate research cannot do without geodata. Are you interested in how state-of-the-art equipment is used to create map bases? 

Are you wondering where a navigation device gets its reliable information from? Are you curious about how buildings or terrain are surveyed from the air or how laser technology is used to create 3D models? Then surveying has the answers for you.

Geodata is the basis of all planning

Geodesy is the science of measuring and mapping the Earth's surface. It has always been a sought-after field of expertise. And that is truer today than ever before. Whether houses are being built on a site, a nature reserve needs to be assessed, a bridge is being planned, or a major project such as a tunnel construction or the launch pad for an Ariane 6 rocket needs to be surveyed, the data collected by surveyors lays the foundation for every project and provides the necessary overview.

Collecting geodata with drone technology

With a Bachelor of Science in Surveying under your belt, you will always be the first on site. This means you will play an important role in every respect. In addition, surveyors apply the latest technical developments directly. Today, state-of-the-art measuring equipment is used to collect geodata. 

We will teach you how 3D laser scanning and drone surveying work and how aerial photography and remote sensing satellites are used in surveying. We will also introduce you to building information modelling, i.e. digital building data modelling, during your studies. This means that creating, planning or maintaining buildings will be no problem for you in your future job.
