Spatial Systems is the study of the science and technology of 3D measurement, mapping and visualisation.
The Spatial Systems major Handbook entry stipulates the complete requirements for the Spatial Systems major.
Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
IMPORTANT
Each major has different rules for which breadth subjects may be taken. If you complete non allowed breadth, you may be required to complete extra subjects in order to meet the requirements of your degree. Please look at the “Non-allowed Breadth Subjects within the Bachelor of Design - relating to specific majors” page on the Handbook. A list of non allowed breadth subjects for this major is available underneath the course plans below.
Semester 1 Intake (Maths Methods 3+4) (prior to 2023)
Year 1 | Breadth | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

Year 3 | GEOM30014 Integrating Digital Infrastructure (Previously GEOM30013 Land Admin Systems) | GEOM30012 Digital Infrastructure Systems Capstone (Previously called Integrated Spatial Systems) | Breadth/Elective |
| Subject Leading to a Major | Major subject | Elective subject | Breadth subject |
Note:
- Mathematical knowledge equivalent to a study score of at least 25 in VCE Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 is required to undertake this major.
- Students in this major require 25 points of first-year maths. This course plan reflects entry with a study score of at least 25 in VCE Mathematical Methods 3/4. Students with a study score of at least 25 in VCE Specialist Mathematics 3/4 (or equivalent) are not required to complete Calculus 1 and will instead enrol in Calculus 2. Students with a study score of 30 or more in VCE Specialist Mathematics 3/4 (or equivalent) may not enrol in Calculus 1 for credit.
- This is a sample course plan only. Subjects offered may change from year to year. You will be advised of current subject offerings prior to subject selection and enrolment.

Non Allowed Breadth for the Spatial Systems Major
The following subjects are not permitted to be taken as breadth in the Spatial Systems major:
- any Computer Science subjects (subject codes beginning COMP)
- any Engineering subjects (subject codes beginning ENGR)
- any Spatial Systems subjects (subject codes beginning GEOM)
- any Informatics subjects (subject codes beginning INFO)

Double Majors, Minors and Specialisations
The Bachelor of Design offers unique flexibility with the option of completing majors, minors, double majors and specialisations.
-
Spatial Systems Double Majors
-
Minors
Minors are a shortened sequence of subjects, taken from the existing majors in the degree.
-
Specialisations
Specialisations are a short sequence of subjects which do not form a part of an existing major that focus particular themes relevant across multiple disciplines.
