What is Land Surveying?

Interested in Geography, Maths, Science, IT and/or the outdoors?  Looking for a job that won’t tie you to a desk? Surveying is the measurement and mapping of our surrounding environment using mathematics and specialised technology.  Land surveyors are involved with a diverse variety of projects from land subdivision to tunnel building and major construction.  Importantly though, there is much more to surveying than taking measurements outdoors and then analysing them back in the office.  Surveyors are often the first people on site during any construction process; they are the guardians of property law, and the creators of land titles.  They are also the ones who can sign off on the position of new title boundaries.  In all, surveyors are an integral part of the process in a wide variety of scenarios.Note: Surveying subjects/courses are offered at RMIT and the University of Melbourne.
