The course is designed to enable students to analyse, from an academic perspective, land administration components and land administration systems to serve society. Students with a Land Administration theoretical background will be able to apply the concepts of land policy instruments regarding access to land, tenure, security, land markets, land reform, land use planning and land taxation. This will enable students to examine institutional, operational and technological requirements for carrying out land administration procedures in a transitional environment when implanting the digital / spatial age systems.

To introduce students to Land Information Systems (LIS) in general and to enable them to create, visualise, and analyse land-based data, including parcel information, zoning, land use, ownership, and general property information. Students will learn how to extract user needs, translate them into information needs and identify data sources before embarking on the collection and design of a land information system.

The course is designed to enable students to evaluate concepts of land policy, its development, implementation and role in development. Students will be introduced to drivers of land policy such as specific class interests, food security, access to water and other natural resources to enable them to critically analyze the impact of land policies on social, economic and political developments. The major outcome of the course is a series of essays that demonstrate that students are able to think critically. After completion of the course, students will possess advanced research abilities, be able to select research methods and independently evaluate processes while taking complete responsibility and accountability. Students are expected to take full responsibility for their own learning.
