BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The Faculty of Geomatics and Land Administration (FGLA) was established in 1966 based on the Department of Cartography - Photogrammetry, Department of Surveying and Department of Geodesy. The faculty is reputed as the best place in Vietnam for the study of geomatics and land administration. Many graduates from the faculty currently work as lecturers, professors, and academic staff in surveying departments at the other universities in Vietnam such as University of Civil Engineering, University of Transportation, University of Agriculture, Hanoi University of Natural Resources and Environment, etc. Currently FGLA comprises 86 academic status (1 Full Professors, 15 Associate Professors, 43 Ph.D., and 40 Msc.).

RESEARCH

FGLA research activities and interests are focused on land surveying, cartography and mapping, engineering surveying, geodesy, mine surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing, and spatial data analysis and geographical information system.

The faculty members have been involved in many of the cooperative projects with a number of international institutions such as Moscow State University of Cartography and Geodesy (Russia), AGH University (Poland), University of Galve (Sweden), Yonsei University (South Korea), etc.

To support its research activities, FGLA has 7 modern laboratories with dozen of advanced surveying facilities such as UAV-Trimble ZX5; FARO Laser 3D scanner Focus 3D X130; Total Stations Trimble M1, Sokia CX-55/SG, Leica TS06plus-5’’.

Research priorities of departments can be found via each department information, linkages provided by units.
