Where To Study Surveying and Spatial Science – QLD

Becoming a Registered Surveyor in Queensland

A surveying graduate will be required to have completed either a three or four year university degree in surveying. The three-year degree is the minimum qualification requirement for obtaining registration as a surveyor, and for obtaining an engineering or mining endorsement. To obtain a cadastral (property boundary) endorsement, a four year degree is required.

In Queensland, USQ is the only education provider that offers surveying study courses. With insightful teaching from surveyors who have done the hard yards in the workplace, these courses provide an excellent foundation for people looking to move into the industry.

STEPS TO SURVEYOR REGISTRATION

Surveyors are to register with the Surveyors Board of Queensland (SBQ) as a graduate after completing the course of study (a minimum three year university course). After registration as a surveying graduate and obtaining sufficient experience, the surveyor applies to the SBQ to have their competency assessed.

Please refer to the Surveyors Board of Queensland website for further information.

STEPS TO AN ENDORSEMENT

After registration as a surveyor a registrant may choose to seek a specialist endorsement.

  • Cadastral – land and boundary surveying
  • Mining – open cut and underground surveying
  • Engineering –  infrastructure project surveying

Further information to gaining an endorsement can be found on the Surveyors Board of Queensland website.
