Graduate profile and further learning opportunities:

The graduate will possess knowledge in mathematics, natural and technical sciences, as well as specialist knowledge in the field of geodesy and cartography. The graduate will achieve proficiency in a foreign language at the B2 level of the Council of Europe's European Language Description System and will be able to use specialized terminology in the field of geodesy and cartography. The graduate will master modern methods of researching and modeling the Earth's shape and physical properties, observing their changes over time, and performing numerical processing and presentation of geodetic, remote sensing, and photogrammetric measurement results.  
The graduate will acquire the ability to determine and record land ownership status and obtain data for spatial information systems, land management, database maintenance, and the creation of basic, cadastral, economic, topographic, and thematic maps, as well as geodetic implementation and support of investments. The graduate will acquire skills to apply knowledge in both professional work and everyday life, manage teams performing assigned tasks, establish and manage small businesses, and utilize relevant laws necessary for professional practice and business operations.  
The graduate will be prepared to conduct engineering activities in geodesy, cartography, and spatial information systems, as well as to use modern techniques of geodetic, satellite, photogrammetric, and remote sensing measurements. Employers participate in shaping the educational concept through consultations in the Advisory Council at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and through the implementation of contemporary tasks (known as student projects), ensuring that graduate qualifications better match labor market expectations. The graduate will be prepared to pursue second-cycle (master's) studies in geodesy and cartography and, after completing program requirements, in related fields.
