Description
The Undergraduate Study Programme is a five-year programme (300 ECTS) leading to an Integrated Master's Degree. It provides comprehensive education in Surveying Engineering and Geoinformatics, with emphasis on geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, cartography, geographic information systems, cadastre, spatial analysis, infrastructure engineering, natural resources management and regional planning. The curriculum includes theoretical and laboratory courses, specialization courses and a diploma thesis.
Relation to Employment
Graduates acquire the professional rights of Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineers and may work in geodesy, surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), cadastre, spatial and regional planning, transportation and hydraulic engineering, infrastructure development and natural resources management.
Access Requirements / Progression Opportunities
Admission is based on the Panhellenic Examinations or placement exams in accordance with current legislation. To be awarded the degree, students must successfully
complete ten semesters of study and earn 300 credit units (ECTS). The program leads to a single, continuous degree (Integrated Master’s).
Knowledge
Graduates possess comprehensive and specialized knowledge in geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, cartography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geoinformatics, satellite geodesy, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), cadastre, spatial analysis, geospatial data management, geosciences, spatial planning, transportation and hydraulic infrastructure, as well as natural resources and environmental management. They understand the mathematical, physical and engineering principles governing geospatial measurements, spatial modelling and land information management.
Skills
Graduates are able to conduct surveying, geodetic and cartographic studies, design and implement geodetic measurement networks, collect, process and analyse geospatial data, use modern geoinformatics technologies, GNSS, GIS, UAVs and remote sensing systems, develop spatial analysis applications, manage cadastral data, prepare spatial planning and infrastructure studies and apply modern computational and research methods to solve complex engineering problems.
Competences
Graduates are competent to undertake, independently or as members of multidisciplinary teams, the design, supervision and management of geodetic, surveying, geoinformatics and spatial planning projects. They are capable of organizing and managing geospatial information, applying innovative engineering technologies, contributing to the design and implementation of infrastructure projects, conducting scientific research and demonstrating professional responsibility, critical thinking, ethical conduct and decision-making skills for complex engineering and environmental challenges.
