Description
The Diploma in Geomatics programme was purposefully designed to prepare students for a career as survey technician, with specialised knowledge and skills in the acquisition, processing, presentation, and management of geospatial data. The programme provides a systematic and coherent introduction to the main theories, broad principles, concepts, data, and problem-solving techniques in the main cognate area, i.e. geomatics.
