Nowadays, the department trains bachelors in specialty «6B07301- Geodesy and Cartography», «6B07302 – Geoinformatics», «6B05206 - Natural and Technogenic Risks»; masters in specialty «7М07301 – Geodesy», «7М07302 – Geoinformatics», «7М07303– Cartography», «7М07306 – Geoinformatics» (program of two diploma degree), «7M05210 – Natural and Technogenic Risks»; PhD in specialty «8D07301 – Geodesy», «8D07302 – Geoinformatics», «8D07303 – Cartography» и «8D05206 – Natural and Technogenic Risks». Kazakh and Russian departments of these specially train 429 students. In recent years, due to the globalization of education, training is conducted in English. The department has educational laboratories, scientific - research laboratory of geoinformation mapping, GIS technology center and remote sensing, also there are "GIS - Center" at the department where the young scientists of the department work and training geodesic polygon on the territory of the KazNU. In light of the current requirements for the implementation of innovative technologies, teaching laboratories are systematically equipped with digital and electronic surveying instruments, devices, global navigation satellite systems, software for processing and presentation of spatial data, etc. Currently, the department is developing theoretical and applied aspects of the problems in the field of geodesy, cartography, including the preparation of digital cartographic products, as well as in the field of GIS mapping in the management of geosystems in various sectors of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The scientific, technical and methodological base of the department allows conducting advanced training courses for higher and professional education workers, as well as production specialists in the field of geodesy, cartography, geoinformatics and natural and technogenick risks.
