Bratislava History of the surveying higher education in Slovakia n Mining Academy – Banska Stiavnica (17. Century) n University of Technology Bratislava – 1938 Construction Engineering Hydrotechnical Construction Engineering Surveying Engineering n University of Technology Košice n Uni of Žilina – 1996

n heterogeneous student population n progressive number of students n economical background of EU countries n new structure of the university education in Europe (Sorbone and Bologna declaration 1999, Prague 2001, Berlin 2003, Bergen 2005) n aim - to build the homogeneous European education space Outlines for the harmonisation of the higher education in EU countries FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

n project realisation to 2010 n start the 3-level system at 2005 n up to 2005 – to define the national system of quality control (tasks, institutions, student participation, external institutions, accreditation, international co-operation, networks atc.) n joint the EHEA a ERA n number of member countries > 40 Berlin outlines FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

n FIG C2 – pregradual, post-gradual education, PCD, quality assurance (QA) n CLGE - licence politic n CLGE/FIG Seminar - Delft, november 2000, n EUCEET – EU ERASMUS project civil engineering faculties n EEGECS – EU ERASMUS – geodesy, cartography, geomatics and geography n BSc. – semester n MSc. – semester n PhD. – 6 or more semester Milestones in Geodesy and Cartography FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

QA in Slovak higher education n accreditation of new study programs, according the EU structures of professions n university evaluation by the government: - research universities - universities - Bc. schools n continual (obligatory) quality control by students evaluation by representatives of EUA n student and staff mobility n degree (diploma) acceptance in Europe and worldwide FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

Post-gradual surveying education in Slovakia Part of the CPD – obligatory at the uni and the chamber only (ca 20% of surveying professionals) n PG courses offered by Uni’s n PG courses offered by another bodies (chamber, associations, etc.) n Seminars, conferences, web infos, etc. FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

Conclusion n Long tradition - surveying education - Bologna Agreement application n Bologna structure – 3 level (Bc., MSc., PhD.), ECTS n High number of graduated students – more than 200 students in all courses/year QA - yes, partly obligatory, provided by students CPD - by the Uni and Chamber FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007

Conclusion Provide the profession – saleried employee, executive officer – according the law, small company owner (registered) n Licence Policy – yes, Chamber of Surveyors (government) n Membership in Chamber– only for the MSc. and PhD. level graduates – obligatory Association, union, etc. membership – optional, no QA FIG C2 Symposium Prague, June 7-9, 2007
