A Diploma in Land Surveying provides students with the technical and legal skills to measure, map, and establish property boundaries. This program typically blends intensive fieldwork with modern geospatial technology to support urban planning, construction, and land management.
 
Core Course Summary
The curriculum is designed to move from theoretical principles to practical applications, focusing on the following key areas:
  • Surveying Fundamentals: Mastering the 5 principles of surveying—working from whole to part, locating points via reference, consistency, independent checks, and accuracy.
  • Technical Units: Intensive study in Mathematics and Physics as a foundation for precise calculations, alongside Surveying Instruments (e.g., Dumpy levels, Total Stations).
  • Survey Types: Training in specialized branches including:
    • Cadastral Surveying: Defining legal boundaries for property ownership and titles.
    • Topographical Surveying: Mapping the natural and man-made features of a site.
    • Engineering Surveying: Dimensional control for construction, roads, and earthworks.
  • Geospatial Technology: Proficiency in Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and AutoCAD software for data processing and map production.
  • Legal & Professional Practice: Understanding land acts, professional ethics, and communication skills necessary for working with government registries and private clients.
