SECTION 5 
EDUCATION 
In addition to the well established courses at University College London, 
and the universities of Newcastle upon Tyne and Glasgow which deal with 
photogrammetry exclusively (or to a considerable extent), BSc degree in land 
surveying science may now be obtained at NE London Polytechnic (formerly 
Waltham Forest Technical College). This course, which is of three years 
duration deals extensively with photogrammetry. The degree is that of the 
Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA). Establishments which offer 
specialised undergraduate and post graduate courses with a considerable 
photogrammetric content will be indicated with an asterisk *, 
During the period under review steps have also been taken to establish 
courses in a number of polytechnics, technical colleges and colleges of 
further education for the Ordinary National Certificate (ONC) in surveying, 
cartography and planning (which includes photogrammetry) and the Higher 
National Certificate (HNC) in photogrammetry (88). 
ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY, Dept. of Geography 
Courses on photo interpretation include an element of fairly simple 
photogrammetric procedures. A short course of 10 hours is also given to 
civil engineering students designed mainly to make them aware of the uses of 
photogrammetry in their professional field. More advanced photogrammetry is 
not taught. 
ABERYSTWYTH. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES, Dept.of Geography 
The department offers an optional course in photogrammetry at final year 
level of approximately 60 hours. 
BELFAST, QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, Dept, of Civil Engineering 
The surveying course taken by civil engineers includes photogrammetry. 
Equipment available includes parallax bar, stereoscope and radial line 
plotter. 
BELFAST. QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY. Dept. of Geography 
Undergraduates receive basic training in air photo interpretation. Research 
students occasionally make use of more sophisticated photogrammetric 
equipment. 
BIRMINIGHAM UNIVERSITY. Dept.of Civil Engineering 
In their final year, students make selections from a fairly wide choice of 
options, one of which is photogrammetry. About 15-20% of final year students 
select this option.
