These tracks aim to deepen students' professional knowledge and skills in the field of surveying and mapping engineering, and cultivate professionals who can play a role in different fields such as scientific research, education, and engineering practice. When choosing the direction of postgraduate examination, students should consider it comprehensively according to their own interests, career planning, and the scientific research strength and faculty of each school. At the same time, different schools may have their own research priorities and special directions.
