BSc (Hons) Surveying and Mapping Sciences Bachelor's degree at East London

Develop the skills you need to confidently navigate your future career. You'll engage in real-world professional activities like networking simulations, mock interviews, and digital branding exercises, supported by industry guest speakers and career coaches. Practical sessions will sharpen your communication, research, and critical thinking abilities, while workshops will guide you in building a digital portfolio to strengthen your employability.

Build the academic and professional skills you need for success in the creative and technology industries. You'll develop key study techniques, including effective note-taking, research, academic writing, and digital communication. Through workshops, tutorials, and practical tasks, you'll boost your confidence as an independent learner and strengthen your ability to plan, organise, and deliver assignments.

Strong numeracy and data-handling skills are vital in creative industries. In this module, you'll learn how to interpret graphs, solve problems using digital tools like spreadsheets, and present numerical information clearly. Practical exercises build your confidence with real-world scenarios, supporting your wider academic and professional development.

Understanding how media messages are created and interpreted is essential in today's digital world. This module introduces you to key frameworks for analysing visual media, while also building your ability to communicate ideas clearly and persuasively. You'll design an academic poster using professional software, develop critical thinking around cultural differences, and practise both oral and written communication for academic and industry contexts.

Engineering and construction careers demand practical skills and strategic thinking. In this module, you'll engage with engineering drawing, CAD tools, workshop practices, and applied mathematics, all within a live project framework. Time management, teamwork, and professional presentation are emphasised throughout.

This module aims to develop students' core competencies to form the basis of future competencies development throughout the programme of study. In this module, the students would consolidate their Construction / Engineering knowledge and skills for practical applications, and develop their awareness of impacts on the environment, commerce, society and individual brought about by various construction and engineering activities.

The aim of the module is to appreciate the factors, organisation and professional disciplines involved in the planning, design, development and in-use of the built environment facility.

This module involves exploring the choices for materials, systems and techniques used in the construction of typical domestic and industrial/commercial building. The module also looks at building design and performance particularly with respect to the selection of materials for construction purposes. It also covers sustainability issues affecting the condition of existing buildings, and their maintenance and adaptation.

This module introduces you to geospatial surveying practices, principles and procedures for civil engineering and construction projects. The module develops skills in using modern surveying instrumentation to enable 3-dimensional position of features to be determined and for the quality of those positions to be known. The processes for determining vertical height (level) as well as horizontal position (by measuring angles and distances) will be studied.

The main aim of this module is to develop your skills and understanding, of the numerical and mathematical techniques which underpin civil engineering, construction and surveying disciplines. At the end of this module, you should possess the core knowledge of algebra, trigonometry and statistics which can be applied to data analysis, presentation and problem solving. This module also aims to equip you with CAD skills which will enable you to manipulate and process data numerically, graphically a

This module provides an overview of the key concepts and practises of geographical information systems and of mapping data collection. GIS software are used to analyse geospatial data sets and to present smaller-scale mapping Information. The module also focuses on the issues of large-scale spatial data collection related to, scale, quality and 2D and 3D data presentation. This module includes a residential field scheme which takes place away from the university.

To provide an understanding of the UK legal system, legal process, institutional structures in application to the construction process in terms of contract performance, obligations, tort and statutory requirements, in the professional environment of construction management, surveying and information management. To comprehend the legal obligations and procedures associated with contracts, letting, employment, equality, design, development and health and safety, and to apply legal principles to pr

This module develops your understanding and theoretical knowledge of applied techniques within engineering surveying. You will develop your ability to devise solutions to measurement problems and evaluate the results and the systems' performance in an engineering context. On this module, you will investigate and apply measurement techniques and systems in order to solve engineering surveying problems. This module includes a residential field scheme which takes place away from the university.

Any construction project at any scale begins with groundworks. For the success of groundworks, civil engineers need to have a fair understanding of engineering geology (i.e. earth science for engineers), soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and materials used in transforming the natural ground to the engineered ground through reinforcement and/or stabilisation. This module is designed for you to gain a thorough understanding of engineering geology (earth processes, geological structures, ground hazar

This module examines the concepts, methodologies and techniques of acquiring and modelling 3D data. The principles of 3D ground models based on grid and triangulated structures are investigated as techniques for representing and analysing terrain and other surfaces. The principles of Terrestrial Laser Scanning, Photogrammetry, and Satellite Remote Sensing are examined as techniques for data acquisition.

This module develops your understanding of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Geodetic control networks and the relevance of the shape, size and gravitation field of the earth in solving surveying and mapping problems. This module provides an understanding of the mathematical treatment of errors for the analysis and solution of position. The use of Geodetic Reference Systems to describe position.
