The programme curriculum enables students to develop careers in the land and utility surveying, and geo-informatics industry and includes both professional knowledge and subjects related to ethics and global engagement. The Compulsory Subjects equip students with essential knowledge and skills and an introduction to advanced technologies. The programme also provides opportunities for students to pursue further knowledge through independent study.
Compulsory subjects are offered every year, whereas in principle, all LSGI elective subjects will be offered once every two years to provide students with two chances to choose a particular subject throughout the 4-year study period.

Hi, I am Chan Wing Chak, a final year student from LSGI Land Surveying stream. I am so glad to become a part of the LSGI family. The Department of Land Surveying and Geo-informatics is the only place in Hong Kong to provide qualifications and courses in three aspects of Geomatics: land surveying, geo-informatics data analysis and underground utility surveying.
The professors and teachers are very helpful to students. During my study at PolyU, I gained both basic and advanced Land Surveying knowledge including GIS skills, which help me complete various tasks. I have acquired knowledge of Land Surveying and GIS techniques including industry software in all of the subjects. I am confident that all the skills and abilities I have obtained from school will be useful for my internship. The department promotes different internships, in both private firms and government units, enabling students to more easily find a job and fulfill their WIE requirement.
PolyU also provides many opportunities and funding for students to exchange or join a study tour. Students can broaden their horizons via the tours and exchanges. You will make friends from diverse backgrounds and countries and you will leave your comfort zone for more than half a year and have many unforgettable experiences. So don’t miss these valuable chances! CHAN Wing Chak |  |
