    This document provides information about an advanced geodesy course, including its code, level, credit units, contact hours, syllabus contents, teaching methodology, and assessment. The course consists of two sections on physical geodesy and satellite geodesy. Physical geodesy covers topics like the Earth's gravity field, vertical reference systems, and gravity measurements. Satellite geodesy focuses on concepts like satellite orbital motion, coordinate systems, GPS positioning techniques, and practical sessions on GPS mission planning and positioning. Students will be assessed through a final exam, coursework, quizzes, assignments, and practical work.

    Course Objectives On completion of this course, the student should be able to:
    rdevelop an understanding on the basic concepts of
    physicalgeodesy and extend the knowledge into
    surveying and mapping.
    .have sufficient theoretical and practical background of
    space positioning techniques.

    Course Description This course consists of two sections:


    e PhysicalGeodesy
    Satellite Geodesy
    =
    The first section covers the study of the physical properties of
    the gravity field and its geodetic applications. The second
    section of the course focuses on positioning from artificial
    Earth's satellite.
