SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
|
The
surveying profession is currently struggling for an
identity in both the developed and developing worlds.
The traditional cadastral surveying base continues to
contract due to the impact of technology and the resulting
improved efficiency and productivity. |
The
MSU Surveying and Geomatics undergraduate programme
keeps abreast with technological and political changes,
micro-economic reform and
economic rationalism, trends in the international market
place and the
development of the ‘Global Village’
