测量学士学位（BSurv）是新西兰唯一可导致获得全职认可的特许测量师资格的学术资格。这也是新西兰地籍测量师许可委员会认为唯一可作为许可基础的资格。奥塔哥（Otago）的BSurv学位在东，西马来西亚，新加坡和香港的所有澳大利亚州均获得许可。对于那些在英国，中东和非洲寻求测量师职位的人来说，它也被认为是强大（且适当）的专业学位。
The Bachelor of Surveying (BSurv) degree is the only academic qualification available in New Zealand that leads to full professional recognition as a Chartered Surveyor. It is also the only qualification that is recognised as being an appropriate foundation for Licensing by the Cadastral Surveyors Licensing Board of New Zealand. Otago's BSurv degree is recognised for licensing in all Australian States, in both East and West Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. It is also recognised as a strong (and appropriate) professional degree for those seeking employment as a surveyor in the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Africa. The degree is four years in length and aims to produce a graduate skilled in the science of measurement, in the practical issues of land planning and development, and in the legal issues associated with land ownership and resource management. It also allows a student to pursue GIS studies and other specialist professional areas such as hydrographic surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and the study of land tenure systems. The degree is characterised by its strong academic, practical and professional emphasis.
