The department appreciates the advantage of the combination of the training and education provided by a two or three-year diploma in geomatics engineering technology followed by a degree or diploma at UNB and, in most cases, advance credits will be awarded. While previous training and education is an asset, the department will look at all applications on an individual basis regardless of background.
A Minor in Geomatics is offered to students in programs of study other than Geomatics Engineering and comprises a minimum of 24 credit hours (ch) of GGE courses
