Goal
The Bachelor of Geomatics uses the dimensions as mathematics, legal and technological planning. After your studies, you will be able to measure and collect information on the Earth, to process this information to produce actions, plans, maps and information systems and to provide advice and professional advice. You will study, among other things, surveying, geodesy, digital mapping, drafting, geographic information systems, airborne surveys, hydrography and satellite positioning.
Your training will also be to learn and understand the legal concepts concerning the territory by over planning law and planning, real estate law, land cadastre and expertise that will allow you to exercise properly your role as a land surveyor.
