Please note those with a degree in geomatics or a closely related subject or who meet the age and experience criteria of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors can use the programme as a route to a professional qualification and may, under special circumstances, be given exemption from some aspects of the programme. (Note: this programme has slightly higher entrance requirements than the MSc in Land & Hydrographic Surveying and the MSc in Geospatial & Mapping Sciences due to the 6 month work placement). Securing a work placement
Offers for this degree programme will be dependent on the number of work placements that the School has negotiated with placement providers in advance. However, the School cannot guarantee a work placement as there may be situations beyond our control that lead to a placement being unavailable. If for any reason a placement is not available after offers have been made, the student will transfer to the MSc in Land & Hydrographic Surveying, and the work placement will be replaced with an MSc project.
The School will also consider suggestions for work placement partners from applicants. In such cases we will contact the suggested placement provider and confirm that they meet our requirements and are willing to agree to the conditions of the placement. Companies should be active in Land, Engineering and/or Hydrographic Surveying.
Progression to the placement is dependent on meeting academic requirements while on the course. If a student does not meet the progression requirements for the placement but does meet the progression requirements for the degree, the student will transfer to the MSc in Land & Hydrographic Surveying, and the work placement will be replaced with an MSc project. Please note these requirements are higher than those of the non-work placement version of the programme.
