This double degree is designed to allow students to gain accreditation as both Engineers and Surveyors, which gives them flexibility in their future careers.The Civil Engineering degree provides students with an excellent grounding in theory and applications, through the study of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transport engineering and water engineering, as well as construction and management. The Surveying component prepares graduates for opportunities in the various branches of Surveying and the numerous Spatial Information disciplines. To this end, the degree covers general scientific and IT principles, as well as specialised Surveying and Spatial Information topics.
