The main objective of the Bachelor’s Degree in Geomatics Engineering is the scientific, technological and socio-economic training of students to prepare them for professional practice in the development and application of Geomatics Engineering and Surveying. It qualifies for the profession of Technical Engineer in Topography, developed in the Order CIN/353/2009, of 9 February, which establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that enable the exercise of the profession of Technical Engineer in Topography and allows access to a Master’s degree.

The proposed Degree in Geomatics Engineering replaces the current Degree in Geomatics Engineering and Topography, approved by the Council of Ministers on 22 July 2011 (BOE Resolution of 30 November 2011).

The implementation of the new curriculum will be carried out gradually and progressively, so that students enrolled in the current degree in Geomatics Engineering and Surveying will be able to continue their studies until completion. It is planned that the new degree will begin to be taught from the 2015-2016 academic year. The various courses that make up the syllabus will be implemented progressively year after year until its full implementation in the academic year 2019/2020. At the same time, the respective courses of the current degree program will be discontinued.

The main objective of the Degree in Geomatics Engineering is to provide scientific, technological and socio-economic training aimed at preparing students for professional practice in the development and application of Geomatics and Topographical Engineering. It also allows access to a Master’s degree that goes deeper into a more specific professional profile that enables students to carry out research and obtain a Doctorate or Master’s degree of a professional nature.

The Degree in Geomatics Engineering qualifies for the profession of Technical Engineer in Topography, developed in Order CIN/353/2009, of 9 February, which establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that qualify for the profession of Technical Engineer in Topography.
