Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master in geodesy

The master studies in Geodesy are perceived to upgrade academic competences of students who have completed the first-degree academic studies in geodesy. Courses in all modules cover specific problems of geodesy that require additional knowledge and capabilities for their analysis.

The master studies in Geodesy aim at: 1- providing students with the knowledge and skills that will allow them to solve specific problems in geodetic practice such as those arising in the: · basic geodetic works (Earth's shape and dimensions, gravitational field, navigation, geodynamics); · state survey and real estate cadastre; · cartography; · various engineering fields; · real property law, 2- providing students with the necessary knowledge in geoinformatics, 3- development of the organisational and research skills and abilities for the team work, 4- qualifying students for the advanced - doctoral studies and 5- qualifying students to work in the country and abroad.

Upon completion of the second-degree academic studies in geodesy the student should be able to design, organise and supervise: • geodetic works in the course of establishing reference geodetic networks (national active and passive networks, local reference networks, levelling and gravimetric networks), • geodetic works on establishment of the reference geodetic planes, i.e. determination of the outer gravitational field (regional gravimetric surveying, geoid, quasi-geoid), • geodetic metrological works and their standardisation, • geodynamic investigation and determination of displacement of the Earth’s crust in space, • aerial photogrammetric surveying of the terrain and terrestrial photogrammetric surveying of building faces, archaeological excavation sites and terrestrial photogrammetric surveying in geologic investigations, surveying in industry, mining and protection of cultural monuments, • activities and works on the development and maintenance of geospatial digital databases, • state surveying, establishment and maintenance of real estate and infrastructure cadastre, • geodetic and technical works in the course of land development by land consolidation and expropriation, • cartographic works on preparation of topographic maps and thematic maps, • works in engineering fields (i.e. civil engineering, architecture, space planning, industry, agriculture, forestry and others). In addition to the above competencies, a graduate geodetic engineer is able to: • participate in research projects, • teach students in lower educational levels (geodesy, civil engineering, architecture and forestry), • perform real estate evaluation, • manage and develop real property market, • develop and maintain geospatial information systems, • analyse and interpret geospatial data.

A candidate who has completed the first-degree academic studies in geodesy with a minimum of 180 ECTS credits can apply for the second-degree studies in a geodesy
