he PhD in Surveying and Mapping at Chang'an University is a research-focused doctoral program designed to provide advanced expertise in geospatial data acquisition, analysis, and application for engineering, environmental, and land management projects. The program covers areas such as geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), spatial data modeling, and digital mapping technologies. Its curriculum emphasizes independent research, integrating theoretical study with field surveying, laboratory experiments, computational simulations, and applied projects to solve complex spatial and mapping challenges. Emphasis is placed on modern surveying techniques, precision measurement, and the integration of geospatial technologies into infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, and resource management. Graduates are prepared for careers in surveying and mapping institutes, urban and regional planning agencies, geospatial technology companies, research organizations, and academic teaching, or for pursuing interdisciplinary research in geoinformatics, surveying, and spatial engineering.

Research Field:

   Geodesy and Survey Engineering, Cartography and Geographic Information Engineering, Photographical Survey and Remote Sensing.
