ABSTRACT 
The basic tasks review of the Photogrammetry theoretical course, that is 
studied by students in the USSR are presented in this paper. Some in- 
formation on practice and in-laboratory lessons, field and of teaching 
student training, post-graduate probation on the sample of Moscow Institut 
of Geodesy, Airsurveying and Cartography is given. New efforts in the field 
of text-book creation, bibliography and history of photogrammetry are 
highlighted. 
  
Science-technical revolution has a great impact on contemporary development 
of photogrammetry. This feature increases intensification and speed of 
science researches, sufficiently expands applications of photogrammetrical 
methods and puts forward high demands on photogrammetry teaching. 
In Moscow Geodesy, Airsurveying and Cartographic Institute (MIGAC) the 
photogrammetry curriculum is given in compliance with learning plans and 
programmes. The present time, when knowledges collection is parid, when 
even their change exists and egineers to work successfully have to advance 
their qualification steadily, has been taken into consideration working 
on this paper. 
Therefore basic educational and special subjects - mathematics, physics, 
computing and programming, geodesy, mathematical theory of geodetic measure- 
ments and others, on which photogrammetry is based - have sound place in 
learning plans. Teaching of photogrammetry is started on the second year, 
when the students got enough knowledges on these basic subjects. 
Universality is a characteristic feature of contemporary photogrammetry 
curriculum in MIAGAC. Before there were threee curricula of photogrammetry 
in this Institute - close range photogrammetry, photogrammetric survey, 
topographic survey using airial mosaic and stereocompilation. Now these 
three curricula are joined into one, that includes advanced space survey 
methods. Under the circumstances, in spite of reduction of total number 
of lesson hours, contents of united curriculum became to be wider and 
more perfect from methodical and scientific points of view. 
The principal kind of theoretical pursuits are léctures. Lectures readings 
are commissioned to well-known scientists and to the most experienced 
scholars who secure high science methodical level, who can captivate listeners 
attention and awake young people's interest to knowledges, to science and
