A four-year SLQF Level 6 honours degree in surveying with land surveying practicals, geodesy, photogrammetry, GIS, a thesis and industrial training at Diyatalawa.
The BSc (Hons) in Surveying Sciences is ISM's flagship programme and, according to ISM, the first Bachelor Degree Course in Surveying in Sri Lanka. It runs for four years at Diyatalawa and is listed at SLQF Level 6. The page quotes a 150-credit degree, though the module credits printed add up to a smaller total. Year 1 covers elementary surveying, mathematics, physics, cartography and the first land surveying practicals. Year 2 adds advanced surveying, geo IT, photogrammetry, geodesy, land law, land administration, CAD and computer programming. In Year 3 students study construction surveying, GIS, remote sensing, hydrography, land valuation, spatial data infrastructure and research methodology. Year 4 is made up of a geodetic task, a bachelor thesis and industrial training. Students choose a specialisation field: geodetic, land surveying, hydrography, photogrammetry, remote sensing or cartography. ISM lists land surveyor and geoinformatics roles such as photogrammetrist, GIS expert, remote sensing scientist and cartographer, and says graduates suit land administration. Note that the entry rules on the page apply to departmental candidates.
