View(s):Sabaragamuwa University and the National Aquatic Resources Agency [NARA (Research & Development)] signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to give full effect to a Degree programme conducted by the University.
The Faculty of Geomatics of Sabaragamuwa University initiated a new Degree programme, ‘Bsc (Hons) Surveying Sciences/Hydrographic Surveying’, in 2015 which has obtained recognition from the International Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers (IBSC FIG/IHO/ICA Category B level) at its 38th meeting held in Brazil in 2015.
However, to successfully conduct a programme of this nature, it requires both academically and professionally qualified experts, and related infrastructure including necessary equipment, software and on-board training, to fulfill the expected learning outcomes and accreditation requirements, the University said.
The MoU will benefit the successful conduct of this Degree programme, complying with the required standards. (PW)
