The Engineering of Surveying and Mapping major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that trains students in the science and technology of measuring, representing, and analyzing the physical world. The curriculum covers fundamental engineering and geospatial subjects such as geodesy, cartography, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), and surveying measurements. Students learn how to collect, process, and interpret spatial data using advanced instruments and software, gaining hands-on experience with field surveys, mapping technologies, and geospatial analysis tools. The program emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical skills that support accurate positioning, mapping, and spatial data management—critical for land planning, resource management, infrastructure development, environmental monitoring, and urban design. Graduates are prepared for careers as survey engineers, GIS specialists, mapping technologists, and geospatial data analysts in government agencies, engineering firms, environmental consultancies, and technology companies, as well as for further study in geospatial sciences and engineering fields.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
