Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
The purpose of this study was to define the content of group culture, and to outline the socialisation process by which it is acquired amongst students on a three-year surveying course at a polytecnic. This involved ascertaining whether there is something which could be called the culture of the surveying profession, or at least the culture of the students in that profession, and, if so, to identify and examine the component parts of this culture.
