Students are attached to relevant industries, firms, research institutes with a view to developing more skills in Surveying and Geoinformatics and related areas. Provision of additional opportunities to learn more on, carry out surveying projects and write technical reports. Students are supervised during the training period and are expected to keep log-books and other records designed for the purpose of monitoring their performances.

Students are expected to spend six (6) months of the second semester of 400 level for practical work experience in any organization of their choice relevant to Urban Regional Planning profession. They are to participate in activities such as map making, planning practices, land survey, GIS and Remote sensing, Land, human and socio-economic surveys, basic field operations, equipment and facilities and any related assignments. They are to be supervised and a technical report is expected to be submitted for assessment after an oral defence has been completed by the students. 500 Level
