  abstract     = {{In 1990 a 4-year curriculum degree of "Licence in Geography option Land Surveying" was introduced at two Belgian academic universities: both at the "Universite De Liege" and at the "Universiteit Gent" ("Ghent University"). Due to the BAMA revolution (2005), these degrees have been converted in Belgium into a 5-year curriculum finalised into an academic "Master in Geomatics and Surveying" (Universiteit Gent) or a "Master in Geography, option Geomatics and Geometrology" (Universite de Liege).
The academic bachelor degrees that give direct access to the Master curriculum, so without additional compulsory courses, are the "Bachelor in Geography" (Universite de Liege) and the "Bachelor in Geography and Geomatics, Main subject: Surveying" (Universiteit Gent). At academic universities in Belgium, the geomatics/surveying is related to geographical sciences and affiliated to the Faculties of Sciences.
On the contrary, University Colleges (also called Technical Universities) offer mostly professional Bachelor degrees and some academic Bachelor and Master degrees, while Universities only offer academic degrees. Typically at University Colleges, the studies in Surveying don't exist as an independent type of education. They are seen as a continuation of the academic Bachelor in Applied Engineering sciences in Construction option Surveying (Master in Applied Engineering Sciences in Land Surveying - the degree offered at University Colleges).
After 5 years, it has been decided (November 2010) to reformthe programs, based on the experience with the former ones. This article will give - and comment on - the experiences with the old program and the changes made in November 2010 to form a new and better "Master in Geomatics and Surveying" program. Also the different trajectories a student can follow to obtain this type of master degree will be explained.}},
