Department of Architecture and Urban Planning Map and Cadastre Program
General Information
The Mapping and Cadastral program is based on the measurement and production of maps of all scales required by the country, applications related to cadastral and zoning maps, surveying and applications of projects such as roads, bridges, dams, tunnels. Graduates will have sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to enable them to work in the public or private sector as map cadastral technicians. The main objective of the program is to train “Map and Cadastral Technician” who is competent in mapping, surveying and calculation projects and applications, land registry and cadastral operations information systems, zoning activities, urban transformation applications, which are the infrastructure of engineering structures needed by the society with rapidly developing technology and increasing population.
The Map and Cadastre program has 30 quota. Courses are in two groups, compulsory and elective. The Mapping and Cadastre program is a 2-year associate degree program consisting of 4 semesters of 30 ECTS credits each semester, a total of 120 ECTS credits. Students of the Mapping and Cadastre program are given practical and theoretical courses during the 14-week course period. In addition to the courses, each student must complete internship training for at least 30 working days in public and private organizations.
