SECTION 4 
EDUCATION 
This section is divided into entries for each University or College offering 
substantial specialised courses in photogrammetry, a list of institutions which 
include photogrammetry as a subsidiary subject and entries for the major 
employers who are also concerned with photogrammetric education. 
The main development during the four year period has been the introduction of 
courses for senior technicians leading to Higher National Certificates in survey- 
ing, cartography and planning: the first certificates involving specialisation in 
photogrammetry were awarded in 1974. In addition to the two colleges which 
offer photogrammetry at HNC level and which have full entries below, some 16 
colleges offer courses for Ordinary or Higher National Certificates in surveying 
or cartography, in which some photogrammetry is taught. 
Institutions offering substantial specialised courses in photogrammetry 
  
UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW - Department of Geography 
The postgraduate Diploma course in photogrammetry continues to run with small 
numbers. Ph D and M Sc students are accepted and have worked on several of 
the research projects mentioned in Section 3 of this Report. Photogrammetry 
continues to be taught in detail as an integral part of the B Sc degree in 
topographic science and as a special option course offered to geography under- 
graduates. A short course in remote sensing has been introduced for students 
on all of these courses. 
KINGSTON COLLEGE OF FURTHER EDUCATION - Department of General 
Studies 
Photogrammetry related to topographic mapping forms part of the course for 
Ordinary National Certificate in surveying, cartography and planning. At Higher 
National Certificate level, photogrammetry can be taken as a main course or as 
part of a cartographically oriented course. The main course includes a greater 
emphasis on practical skills. Additional short courses are offered for photo- 
grammetric technicians employed in local mapping organisations and to students 
from other disciplines such as traffic engineering, geography and geology. 
UNIVERSITY OF LONDON: 
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, Department of Photogrammetry and Surveying 
The period under review saw the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the chair of 
photogrammetry and surveying (141), which remains the only one of its kind in 
the United Kingdom. In 1972, Professor E H Thompson was made an honorary 
member of the International Society for Photogrammetry and in 1973, with the 
approval of Her Majesty the Queen, he was awarded the Patron's Medal of the 
Royal Geographical Society. As a result of the generous response to the 
Martin Hotine Memorial Fund, it was possible in 1972 to institute an annual 
award, the Hotine Exhibition, to promising postgraduate students of surveying 
and photogrammetry at University College London. The Standing Committee of 
the Commonwealth Survey Officers' Conference is represented on the selection 
committee for the award.
