About The Programme

The Master of Science in Surveying Sciences programme provides intensive training on the technical, analytical and professional aspects of modern and advanced surveying, geodesy, management, and environmental subjects. This postgraduate programme is tailor-made for land surveying professionals who have a Bachelor’s degree in Surveying Sciences, or an equivalent qualification with at least two years of experience in the field of Geomatics. Selected candidates are required to undertake coursework and a research project for the completion of the degree as specified in the Sri Lanka Qualification Framework (SLQF) established by the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Council of the University Grants Commission, Sri Lanka.

The main objective of the programme is to provide sound exposure to state-of-the-art technologies in this field, to allow students to specialize in the management of practical projects. Graduates will consequently become leading technical personnel in the fields of surveying/geomatics. To achieve this objective, the programme aims to provide the appropriate scientific understanding and extensive training in management and environmental subjects, in addition to advanced knowledge of surveying and geomatics. Further, the programme also aims to develop the transferable skills frequently sought by potential employers, such as those associated with verbal and written communication, and teamwork.

The programme is offered with the Faculty of Geomatics. The Faculty consists of a diversely qualified group of experts, and physical resources – e.g. software, survey instruments, reading materials– that are unparalleled. Given the years of academic and professional experience of the teaching faculty, the programme will be conducted in a novel manner so that the student gets hands-on experience. This practical based approach to teaching is applied to all course modules.
