The course will allow you to learn the skills involved in design economics, procurement strategies, cost planning and estimating, measurement and quantification of construction work, commercial management and professional practice.
We have regular guest lectures from industry experts who present working examples of their projects, which will give you a real feel of how the construction industry works. These strong links mean our students are in high demand from potential employers before they graduate.
The work placement module in third year allows you to apply the knowledge you have learned in the classroom to live projects under professional supervision. The year-out is fully credit-bearing.
Furthermore, our BSc Quantity Surveying course offers part-time and full-time options of learning making the course flexible to suit your requirements.
After graduating, you can find yourself managing the finances and contracts of high-profile construction projects worldwide.
Quantity surveyors are widely employed throughout the construction and property industries including Quantity Surveying consultancies, construction companies, specialist sub-contractors, local authorities, specialist tax consultants and housebuilding companies.
Our course is fully accredited by the RICS and is based on construction economics.
In year one you will learn from a broad range of topics to give you a feel for Surveying as a profession including introductions to Construction Costs and Measurement, Building Design and Technology, Property Value Studies and Property and Construction Law.
You will then progress on to more specialist subjects including Cost Planning and Estimating, Measurement and Quantification of Construction and Building Design & Technology.
The third year is spent in the workplace, which is fully credit-bearing towards your final Honours degree. Learning in the workplace provides invaluable experience and allows you to put into practice what you have learned in the first two years as well as preparing you for your final year modules.
In your final year you will work on your Honours project and dissertation as well as gaining enhanced skills in areas of presenting, negotiating, soft skills, Sustainable Development, Advanced Commercial Management, and Conservation Surveying, all of which helps to prepare you for your role in the construction industry.
