Acquired knowledge and skills, specifics of training
The curriculum for the Applied Geodesy specialty is built on a synthesis of fundamental knowledge in the field of the Earth's shape and rotation parameters and practical skills in the field of geodetic support for various types of work in construction, architecture, cadastral surveying, etc.
In all disciplines, students work with specialized software—Nanocad, PANORAMA, QGIS, KREDO, etc.—and solve practice-oriented problems.
The teaching laboratory of the SPbGASU Department of Geodesy, Land Management and Cadastre has a wide range and a significant number of surveying instruments, including total stations, satellite equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, flight simulators, and more. This allows students to gain not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills in the field of geodesy.
Studied profile disciplines:
- Geodesy
- Geodetic support for surveying and monitoring the technical condition of buildings and structures
- Geographic information systems
- Mathematical processing of geodetic measurement results
- Astronomy
- Computer-aided design systems in geodesy
- Photogrammetry and remote sensing
- Software for applied geodesy and photogrammetry
- Global navigation satellite systems
- Higher geodesy
- Organization of topographic and geodetic production
- Fundamentals of geodetic project development
- Computer technologies in engineering geodesy
Graduates of this specialization can work in/at:
Geodesy is one of the oldest Earth sciences, allowing for the solution of numerous applied problems in urban development, land planning, construction, cadastral surveys, monitoring of building and structure deformations, etc.
Thus, education in the field of geodesy is in demand and well paid.
