SHEFFIELD UNIVERSITY, Dept.of Geography
Air photo interpretation forms a quite substantial part of the teaching.

SOU THAMPTON UNIVERSITY. Civil Engineering Department
The extent to which photogrammetry is taught is limited. However this is
taken a little further with M Sc transportation engineering students and M Sc
irrigation engineering students who usually receive a concentrated course of one
or two weeks duration given by personnel of the Directorate of Overseas
Surveys, or the Silsoe Agricultural College.
SURREY UNIVERSITY, Dept.of Civil Engineering
Photogrammetry is included in the undergraduate civil engineering degree
course in its second and final years. The subject is also included in the
postgraduate M Sc highway engineering course. The department possesses a
Thompson Watts plotter and other photogrammetric equipment.
| SURVEY TRAINING LTD
This company is an associate of Cartographical Services (Southampton) Ltd
which undertakes air surveys, and of Cartographic Engineering Ltd., which is
involved in the manufacture of the new CPI (Thompson) plotter. Survey Training
Ltd has been set up with an experienced qualified staff to provide survey
courses for both the trainee and qualified surveyors. The courses are mainly
of two weeks duration and give practical instruction in the use and understanding
of new equipment and techniques.
* SWANSEA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.Dept.of Geography
Photogrammetry is taught to second-year students reading geography,
either as a single honours subject or in a two subject joint honours scheme, who
have elected to take the course in topographic science. There are usually 5 or 6
students in the group. Teaching time is 10 hours per week and this is more or
less evenly divided between surveying, photogrammetry and cartography.
Photogrammetry is also taught to third-year students reading geography, either
as a single honours subject or in a two year joint honours scheme, who have
elected to take either surveying or cartography as their optional subject. There
are usually 3 or 4 students in these courses. Teaching time is 10 hours per
week. In the cartography option photogrammetry represents about 1/4 of the
syllabus and in the surveying option it is rather less. Geography students have
to produce an honours dissertation in their final (third) year. Those students
firmly committed to these combinations of subjects frequently undertake some
project which involves some photogrammetric plotting on PG2 or A6 plotting
machines.
Post-graduate students taking the diploma in cartography usually number
one or two in any year. Photogrammetry represents about 1/4 of their total
syllabus. These students have to undertake project work, though this is
seldom in photogrammetry.
