Education in Spatial Information Sciences in Ireland Topics 1. Third-Level Education in Ireland 2. Third-Level Education in the UK 3. Professional Accreditation 4. DSIS Survey
Surveying Ireland Questionnaire Designed to provide an insight into the current requirements of the surveying industry. All information used to make informed decisions into the structure and delivery of current and future courses within the DSIS. 1. Specific training requirements? 2. Delivery mode? 3. Outcomes?
The Challenge Programmes must be flexible and practically oriented to the demands of the workplace. At the same time we must continue to improve participation in higher education by school leavers.
