Welcome to FIG Surveying Education Database

The Surveying Education Database (SEDB) was established by FIG Commission 2 on Professional Education. The database has been hosted on the FIG web site since 2000 and updating is taken care by the institutions themselves and the FIG office.

The validity of the data is the responsibility of the individual educational institutions. Any omissions or errors should be reported to the FIG office. All universities and institutions on the current database have received a user ID and a password from the FIG office. If your institution is included in the database and you do not have your password, please contact the FIG office. By using the password the institution is able to make changes directly to the database. For further details, please see the pages about authoring or consult the FIG office.

Any academic department offering graduate and post-graduate courses in any surveying discipline can place a standard entry on the SEDB which currently contains information on more than 300 institutions and more than 460 surveying courses from more than 80 countries. Departments are responsible for up-dating the information which they place on the SEDB. Countries and institutions that are not yet included in the database are encouraged to provide the relevant data. Detailed information can be found under Join SEDB.

The Surveying Education Database is a major benefit for being an  Academic Member of FIG. Academic Members of FIG can add a picture and additional information to their standard entries. In addition they are allowed to other benefits given to FIG members. This extra information might promote

• special courses
• exchange programmes
• distance learning courses
• CPD activities
• research-projects or
• give a brief educational and scientific profile of the institution.
