    About

    Surveying supports all construction activity and infrastructure engineering in urban and rural environments, as well as mapping and monitoring the natural environment. Activities include defining land boundaries, engineering and mining surveying, offshore surveys, digital mapping, precise positioning and property development.

    Surveying is a perfect combination of indoors and outdoors. You'll learn how to use a range of hi-tech tools such as GPSs, laser scanners, mapping drones and surveying robots to create high definition 3D models of the built and natural environment. You'll also learn how to apply maths and powerful software to deliver products for a range of applications. To get you work ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

    The latest QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2024, ranked UNSW 1st in Australia for Engineering and 31st in the world. We're known as the leading Civil and Environmental Engineering school ranking 1st in Australia for Civil and Structural Engineering and 17th globally. We're also ranked 10th by the AWRU.

    As a leading centre for Civil Engineering and Surveying research, we ensure the outcomes of our research are woven into our teaching, with students given opportunities to work alongside leading researchers.

    Benefits of studying with us:

    • We're committed to advancing a more prosperous, safe and just society, with emphasis on sustainability and consideration of engineering impacts
    • Our Alumni are consistently high contributors to Engineers Australia’s Top 100 list of Most Influential Engineers
    • Our academic staff are recognised world leaders in their fields of expertise
    • Study in the best in modern facilities with $104 million invested in cutting edge laboratory facilities that are nationally unique.

    When you study Surveying at UNSW, you’ll have access to the Surveying and Geospatial Engineering Laboratory (SAGE Lab). The SAGE Lab is a central space for teaching and research in surveying and geospatial engineering. It has state-of-the-art surveying instruments and up-to-date software packages to keep up with the latest technology development in surveying and geospatial engineering.

    Our students also have access to the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory (SNAP Lab). UNSW’s SNAP Lab has over 20 years research experience in wireless, ground-based and satellite-based positioning technology and applications. SNAP Lab is a collaborative research initiative combining expertise in geodesy, surveying & geospatial science, with electronics, signal processing and space engineering.

    At UNSW Engineering, you’ll benefit from a diverse and welcoming community. UNSW has over 300 clubs and societies. As a surveyor, you will be able to get involved in our surveying specific society SURVSOC as well as our School Society CEVSOC.

    There are different types of surveying that graduates can pursue:

    • Engineering Surveying
    • Mining Surveying
    • Hydrographic Surveying
    • Cadastral Surveying
    • Geodetic Surveying
    • Photogrammetric Surveying

    Potential careers

    • Urban and rural development
    • Oil and gas exploration
    • Mining and engineering construction
    • Climate change monitoring
    • Land management and planning
    • Cadastral surveying and land law
    • Hydrographic surveying
    • Aerial imaging and cartography

    Accreditation

    This degree is globally recognised and is accredited by Engineers Australia and acknowledged by the Washington Accord.

    Part of this degree involves applying your skills through 60 days of approved industrial training in Australia or overseas. Your industrial training will give you a taste of a real-world professional engineering setting and the hands-on experience to become career-ready.
