Position Yourself for the Future

Geomatics is the art and science of measuring, storing, managing and presenting of geospatial data. It has a rich history and an exciting future where rapidly changing technology is applied directly to the sustainable management of the world's resources.

Geomatics consists of a wide range of topics including GPS technology, field surveying, cartography, geodesy, land use planning, photogrammetry, hydrography and cadastral studies.

Our Programs

The BCIT Geomatics Engineering Technology Program offers a two year Diploma with two options for the second year of study:

• Field Surveying
• Digital Mapping

Students may then pursue a career in the Geomatics industry upon graduation from the Diploma program or continue for a further two years toward BCIT’s Bachelor of Technology in Geomatics:

• Bachelor of Technology in Geomatics
  

Geomatics attracts students with an interest in mathematics, computers and earth sciences. Employment opportunities are often outdoors, but many students select from a wide variety of other career paths in Geomatics.

In addition to full-time courses the Geomatics Department also offers part-time studies courses allowing you to take individual courses at your own pace while you continue to work.

Spend a few moments looking through the programs we have to offer. If you would like to know more about your options contact one of our faculty members or visit one of our scheduled Information Sessions.
