理学研究生文凭-测量

理学研究生文凭（PGDipSci）是一个为期一年的课程，以本科科学学位为基础。该文凭包括论文和研究主题，可以全日制或兼读制。它仅通过论文提供进入理学硕士（MSc）学位的机会。勘测包括与测量，拥有和划定我们的自然资源相关的一系列活动，无论这些活动是在陆地上还是在海洋中。
Surveyors work in a range of land, property and construction related areas. Using modern technology such as GPS and laser instruments surveyors precisely measure land, building, and features in the environment for mapping, development and spatial analysis. Because of this close association with land and property the roles of the surveyor extends to land development engineering and urban design, resource management and land planning, property boundary surveying, and the determination of land ownership and rights. The use of computer mapping technology in the form of Geographical Information Systems also leads to work in the capture, display and management of spatial information. Surveyors typically work in a variety of settings – indoor and outdoor - and with a variety of other professions.<br>Because Otago graduates have the skills to take on the full range of surveying activities immediately, you will have a wide variety of options, both in New Zealand and overseas. You might begin with a private sector company here in New Zealand involved in defining land boundaries, mapping and designing subdivisions (including roads, stormwater and sewerage systems), and preparing resource consents. Alternatively you might work for a government agency or a local authority, in their policy planning or GIS departments.Some graduates do scientific research while others travel the world undertaking seismic surveys, mining, hydrographic surveying, or ensuring that the foundations for buildings and major engineering structures are correctly positioned. Others are involved in defining national and international boundaries for the United Nations. Many end up as consultants running their own businesses.Most surveying jobs are roughly 50/50 inside/outside - at least in the early years. If you choose a planning option, it will be considerably less outside. If you choose project surveying it will be more.
