Master courses in surveying in the light of the Bologna process
Czarnecki, Kazimierz
According to the Bologna Process the intermediate stage of BACHELOR/ENGINEER ended with proper diploma-thesis is generally indispensable to start studies for higher MASTER degree. The universities constructing curricula for BACHELORATE in surveying are doing their best to supply students with as complete knowledge in the field of surveying as possible. Such an approach, even though right, leads to specific pitfall. Curricula for master studies become deficient comprising parts of additional knowledge in particular subjects pretending to be advanced but generally being an unnecessary burden in future personal development of graduate looking from both, professional and eventually scientific carriers. Advanced branches of mathematicss, selected problems of physicss, etc. added to curricula may serve as an example. Author advances a thesis that there is no clear concept in Europe of MASTER courses in surveying. Subordinating MASTER courses to master-diploma-thesis at the very beginning and offering almost entirely optional subjects regulated by certain obligatory established amount of ECTS might help to cope with programming of master courses in surveying. Such a proposal is discussed in the paper.
