Surveying and Mapping at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that trains students in the methods and technologies used to measure, record, and represent the physical features of the Earth’s surface. The curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills, covering key areas such as geodetic surveying, topographic mapping, land measurement techniques, instrument operation, spatial data collection, and coordinate systems. Students also learn to use modern tools like total stations, GPS/GNSS devices, digital levels, and computer‑aided drafting (CAD) software to accurately capture and process spatial information.

The program emphasizes precision, technical proficiency, and analytical thinking, preparing graduates to support projects in land development, engineering construction, urban planning, environmental management, and infrastructure surveying. Through classroom instruction, laboratory work, and field training, students gain the ability to produce reliable maps, conduct spatial measurements, and interpret geographic data. Graduates are well‑suited for careers in surveying and mapping services, geospatial analysis, construction and engineering support, land administration, government agencies, and geographic information system (GIS) roles, as well as for advanced study in geospatial science and related technical fields.
