FIGURE 1. Course content in six groups from the report /Krakiwsky, 1987/ and has 
been reclassified by F. Leachy for 
comparison with data from the University 
of Melbourne). The content of the two last 
groups of subjects (see table 1), in case 
of University of Melbourne and Calgary is 
slightly different from that at the 
University of Zambia. The Land Management 
group comprises land law, cadastral 
surveying, land development and
