Masters Degrees (MSc or MSurv)
The School offers both a Master of Science degree and a Master of Surveying degree, entry to the latter being restricted to those students who have a four year undergraduate Surveying degree (or its equivalent). The MSurv is generally a two year programme open to those candidates who have obtained a degree in Surveying. The papers taken in Year One of the programme are identical to those taken by PGDipSci students with progression to the second (thesis) year being restricted to those students who obtain a B- average (or better) in Year 1. A student who obtains a BSurv with distinction, a BSurv (Hons) 1st class, or equivalent qualification, may be admitted directly to the thesis year of the degree.

Postgraduate Diploma of Science (PGDipSci)
This is a one year course consisting of graduate level papers and a research project. While the School offers PGDipSci programs in both Surveying and Spatial Information Studies, the course of study is flexible and can be tailored to the needs and interests of a particular student. This is an excellent program for either a BSc or a BSurv student wanting to specialise on a particular subject by undertaking a single year of postgraduate study. Entry into such a program is restricted to those students who have an appropriate undergraduate (or equivalent) degree.

Diploma for Graduates (DipGrad)
This is a one year course which is specifically designed for the mature student who wishes either to up-skill in a particular discipline or to move into a different avenue of study. Provided that the programme of study has the appropriate number of 200-level and 300-level points and can be demonstrated to be cohesive, then it is entirely flexible and can be tailored to the needs of the student. To gain entry, a candidate may have either a first degree or appropriate technical qualification and experience. A candidate who excels in his/her programme of study may be admitted directly to a Postgraduate Diploma of Science.
