ABSTRACT: 
The Universities of Ukraine gained a great experience in training specialists on geodetic disciplines. Present - day 
period is determined with-the fact that Ukraine became an independent state (24, August 1991). Since that year the 
reorganization of state system of education has already started. The Ministry of Education established multistage training 
system for geodetic specialist. The - first level provided by the University is bachelor, then engineer and master. Nowdays 
the training of engineeres on photogrammetry is provided only in State University "L'vivska politechnika". The speciality 
"Geoinformation Systems and Technologies" (GIS) was introduced in 1993 on the initiative of professor A. Dorozhynskiy. 
Now this speciality is introduced into syllabus of State University "L'vivska politechnika”, Donetsk State Technical University, 
some small groups of students study the course in University named after Shevchechenko (Kiyiv), Odessa and Kharkiv 
State Universities, Slavonic University in Kiyiv. The reports presents thorough description of the contents of the sullabus 
for training of GIS and photogrammetry specialists. 
MANUSCRIPT: 
The Universities of Ukraine gained a great experience 
in training specialists on geodetic disciplines. The history 
of this process coveres three stages: prewar (till 1939) 
postwar (1945-1991) and present-day (from 1991 till now). 
During the prewar period Ukraine was cleft into two 
parts, one of which belonged to the former Soviet Union 
and the other to Poland. The divergences of political 
Systems causes greatly the differences of educational 
systems which is well known by the majority of specialists. 
The most significant fact about the postwar period is 
that the Western and the Eastern parts of Ukraine were 
reunited in the Soviet republic. The Western Ukraine 
Universities started working according the shcemes of the 
Soviet system of education . 
Present-day period is determined with-the fact that 
Ukraine became an independent state (24,August 1991). 
Since that year the reorganization of state system of 
education has already started. The Ministry of Education 
established multistage training system for geodetic 
specialist. The - first level provided by the University is 
bachelor, then engineer and master. 
The Universities dealing with bachalor training only 
gain the 3d level of eveluative rating. In case they deal 
with the engeneer and master training they gain the 4th 
(highest) level of eveluative rating. 
In Ukraine the training of engineers in geodetic and 
cartography specialities is held in following universities: 
State University "L'vivska politechnika" (L'viv) , Kiyiv State 
Technical University of constructing and architecture(Kiyiv), 
National University named after T. Shevchechenko (Kiyiv), 
Ore-Mining University (Kryvyi Ryh), Ukrainian Technical 
University of Oil and Gas (Ivano-Frankivsk), Donetsk State 
Technical University (Donetsk). 
Nowdays the training of engineeres on photogram- 
metry is provided only in State University "L'vivska 
politechnika". The speciality "Geoinformation Systems and 
30 
Tech-nologies'(GIS) was introduced in 1993 on the 
initiative of professor A. Dorozhynskiy. Now this speciality 
is introduced into syllabus of State University "L'vivska 
politechnika", Donetsk State Technical University, some 
small groups of students study the course in University 
named after Shevchechenko (Kiyiv), Odessa and Kharkiv 
State Universities, Slavonic University in Kiyiv. 
The majority of the universities mentioned above 
determine independently the subjects to be taught and the 
amount of hours. But still some coordonation of actions 
and some agreements are achieved owing to consultations, 
meetings organized either by universities or by Ministry of 
Education. 
The basic direction for geodetic and cartography 
specialities is established. Namely "Geodesy, Cartography 
and Agricultural Installations". The whole term study covers 
3.5 years, the student gains the qualification of bachelor. 
The Engineer training requires 1.5 year more after getting 
Bachelor Degree.To aquire the degree of master student 
is given 2 years more. 
During the first year of studying the engineer and 
master training coincide completely. Diring the last half of 
the training year student is working over his diploma 
research, defendes it and gaines the engineer degree. 
Master training during the last year suggests profound 
studyind special disciplines, working over master research 
and defending it. 
The Bachelor level for specialistes "Photogrammetry" 
and "GIS" covers 7830 academic hours. 
The subject are as follovs : 
— humanitarian, social and economic subjects (1350 
academic hours); 
— fundamental subjects (1674ac. h.); 
— speciality-oriented subject (864ac. h.); 
— professional subject selected for the specialization 
by the student himself (408ac. h.). 
At the end of the training the student takes the state 
exam after which he is given diploma and conferred the
