Approved Electives: Students may choose an elective subject that has a spatial flavour from any masters level program at the University.
Students planning to gain SRVB accreditation must take a package of electives consisting of ABPL90041 Property Law, GEOM90041 Cadastral Surveying, and GEOM90045 Residential Land Development. GEOM90041 and GEOM90045 are offered in alternating years. Students need to consider this in their study to avoid delaying their graduation.
