Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The aim of the Real Estate Measurement and Valuation Technologies study programme is to prepare highly qualified, broadly erudite, responsible real estate measurement specialists with knowledge of real estate measurement and valuation technologies, who are able to prepare topographic and geodetic plans, mark construction projects, perform geodetic control measurements, establish and adjust cadastral data of real estate, value real estate, use, manage, and update state spatial data sets, and react flexibly to the business environment, technological changes, and needs. Partial aims of the study programme: First partial aim (1): To develop the worldview of students in Real Estate Measurement and Valuation Technologies, encouraging critical thinking, active citizenship, an understanding of globalization processes, and the ability to work in an intercultural space. Second partial aim (2): To develop a qualified specialist in Real Estate Measurement and Valuation Technologies, able to use modern measuring devices and software, conduct geodetic, cartographic, real estate cadastral, and real estate valuation tasks, store, systematize, and update real estate cadastre data using modern technologies, and establish a business enterprise. Third partial aim (3): To develop a creative, versatile-thinking specialist capable of working in a team, making independent decisions, and striving for continuous professional development.
Learning outcomes:
1.1. Is aware of the principles of measurement engineering, laws and patterns of mathematics, physical and engineering regularities and methods, perceives problems of adjacent study fields, the contexts of their solution and possibilities of application. 2.1. Knows and understands the content of real estate measurement and valuation works, their importance, concepts, and principles, and is able to apply this knowledge in geodesy, cartography, cadastre, and real estate valuation tasks and problem-solving. 2.2. Is able to collect, analyse information sources, to use databases, computer software, laboratory equipment, to assess the obtained data and formulate conclusions, to apply recent technologies in one’s professional activity. 2.3. By applying the methods of distant cartography, is able to perfom data search, spatial data design and analysis, to create spatial data sets of georeferenced, real estate information systems. Is able to collect and interpret necessary information, model the spatial surface. 2.4. Is able to make correct decisions in real estate measurement works and to select tools and equipment; is a skilled user of surveying equipment, can apply up-to-date software packages in order to process the data obtained during surveying. 2.5. Is able to apply knowledge and skills when compiling geodetic and topographic plans, data sets of real estate objects; in real estate measurement works; when defining cadastral data necessary for legal register of real estate objects; when developing, rearranging and valuating real estate; when conducting geodetic surveys of construction sites and engineering systems and designing plans; when upgrading state plans and developing special geodetic framework. All works are carried out observing legal and standard documents. 2.6. Is able to apply their knowledge and understanding, analytical and modeling methods to solve real estate measurement and valuation tasks by analyzing the challenges arising during professional activities, selecting the most appropriate methods and tools to address these tasks, and creatively applying methods to solve measurement engineering problems. 3.1.

Uses knowledge and methods of social and economic sciences essential for receiving information and dealing with practical issues in various professional and social activities or in order to develop one’s qualification and broaden professional horizon. Perceives the importance of lifelong learning for one’s professional improvement, is able to communicate with colleagues and the society.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The main study methods that are applied in the University are traditional and thematic authentic lectures of social partners, practice and laboratory works, investigation and/or analysis of a specific case by providing one’s own speculations in the form of reflexion, work in small groups by performing individual assignments, seminars, discussions; development, introduction and discussion of course projects, training and industrial (speciality) practice, oriented active learning/teaching methods are applied. Specific situations which arise during works and projects are analysed and solved by using acquired knowledge and competences in a complex way.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
When assessing student’s results define application of the cumulative assessment system. Observing the principles of consistency and systematicity, study subject programmes include intermediate testing, during which specific learning outcomes are assessed. Studies of each subject are terminated with the final exam. The prevailing methods of learning outcome assessment are test, report, defence of laboratory work description, presentation of individual assignment or project, presentation in a seminar on the selected topic, collegial assessmen
