Abstract
Liberalization of services and international recognition of professional competences are a topical issue of the international agenda. In the European Union, an additional challenge is the EU market, which provides the framework for free trade in professional services within the EU member states. Consequently, the professional qualifications, which have to meet the labour market needs, have to be recognized on the international level. The competences of the graduates and whether these competences are in line with the demands of the employment areas (in particular of the private enterprises) are discussed in connection to the field of surveying in Slovenia. In addition, some main findings regarding the requirements of the European enterprises in the surveying profession are given, based on the research within the framework of the EEGECS (European Education in Geodetic Engineering, Cartography and Surveying). We try to emphasize the importance of collaboration between private/public sector and higher educational institutions in order to develop and/or adjust higher educational programmes to the technological and methodological development, and to the market needs, which would fulfil wide spectrum of the market needs.

Abstract
Globalisation, as a process and a condition of the space for higher education, dictates the guidelines for development of study programmes. A special challenge has appeared in the fields depending on the fast developing information technology, including spatial information science, and in the fields of licensed disciplines such as land surveying. Due historical reasons, surveying, geodesy and cartography have been often part of a common academic study programme in the most European countries. The competences of classical surveying, geodetic, and cartographic higher educational programmes have been changing and new areas are developing rapidly. In the article, we focused on competences of the surveying (geodetic) higher education in todays society, where findings of actual international discussions are summarised. Furthermore, the renovation of higher study programmes of surveying in Slovenia is presented (official translation is geodesy), which has been partly influenced by historical facts, and current European and international guidelines in higher education of surveying and geodesy. In this respect, the competences of the new higher educational programmes of surveying (geodesy) in Slovenia are presented.
