Candidates applying to study in the bachelor’s study programme Geodesy and Cartography must demonstrate knowledge and understanding within the scope specified by the appropriate directive of the Dean of FCE BUT. It requires them to have successfully completed their secondary education with a “Maturita” final secondary school exam. Then, either the grade point average from the candidate’s secondary school allows acceptance without an entrance exam, or an entrance exam is sat featuring mathematics and physics papers based on the current syllabus taught at grammar schools.

Graduates are able to work with the majority of geodatabases to produce required outputs. They are able to independently create maps for various purposes, ranging from direct land surveying in the field, to data processing, the creation of digital maps and other outputs, including visualization applications. Graduates are capable of processing source data collected by the most modern surveying methods (satelite measurements, land and aerial photogrammetry, land and aerial scanning, etc.). The main aim of the course is to develop theoretically and practically educated professionals ready for the majority of contemporary geodetic and cartographic tasks in industry. Graduates should also be able to continue their studies, specialising further, in a consecutive master’s study programme.

Graduates of the bachelor’s study programme Geodesy and Cartography are able to work in state administration (at a Land Registry Office, State Land Office, etc.), where they are able to carry out all basic activities (the checking and recording of geometric plans and their details, work on the digitization of cadastral maps, work on the redevelopment of the property register via new mapping, documentation work, etc.). In the private sector, graduates can find employment with private surveying firms where they may contribute to the making of new geometric plans, the demarcation of lot boundaries, the making of special-purpose maps, the surveying of work done during construction, the surveying of completed work carried out on existing buildings, the surveying of individual overhead and underground wiring installations and other utility networks, including their registration and updating in the appropriate databases and geoinformation systems.

Graduates may continue their education in a consecutive master’s programme and gain the title “Ing.“. With regard to graduates’ knowledge of foreign languages in their specialized area, they can study for their master’s degree either in the Czech Republic or abroad.
