under articles of apprenticeship with a licensed surveyor on land boundary definition. The Surveyors' Board gives some credit for cadastral work performed under a licensed surveyor during University vacations.
A degree in Surveying qualifies the graduate for Associate Membership of the Institution of Surveyors, Australia, and, after two years professional experience such an Associate can progress to Corporate Membership. Undergraduates are eligible for Student Membership.
Graduates are encouraged to continue their studies and present themselves as candidates for the degrees of master of Surveying Science, master of Surveying or the degree of doctor of Philosophy.
Australia is a large and relatively unmapped continent and urgently requires educated young men with spirit and integrity to enter the Surveying profession and carry on the work which is the basis of a significant portion of Engineering and Legal Practice, and is a prerequisite of national development.
