Master of Engineering Science (Surveying)

If you want to become a Professional Surveyor, and have a 3 year engineering degree but no work experience, the Master of Engineering Science (Surveying) will get you there.

Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience and preparing you thoroughly for your profession. In addition to the hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, you will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is the impact of flooding, the effects of rising sea levels or the measurement of underground mines, your project will provide insight to the profession of surveying.

The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.

Career outcomes

As a surveying graduate your career pathway could be as a land surveyor, engineering surveyor, geodetic surveyor, mine surveyor or remote sensing surveyor in either the public or private sector.

Professional recognition

The Master of Engineering Science (Surveying) accredited by the Surveyors Board of Queensland and is recognised in every Australian state and in New Zealand through reciprocal arrangements. The degree, together with relevant industry experience, enables registration and/or licensing as a professional surveyor with the Boards of Surveyors in Australia and New Zealand and you will be eligible to apply for membership with the Surveying and Spatial Science Institute of Australia.
