On Campus

Higher Level Apprenticeships are employer led and operate under the requirements of the accrediting professional body and the Department for the Economy's (DfE) operational requirements. Tuition fees are paid by DfE if the requirements of both are met. One feature that distinguishes this programme from alternative modes of delivery and programmes offered by other institutions is the requirement for RICS based structured training throughout the programme of study. The overall aim of the programme is to prepare the apprentice to sit their APC as soon as they graduate from the programme. This is achieved by the preparation of the training programme with targeted milestones to achieve the required level of competency for the QS and construction pathway over the 5 years of the programme. To support and execute this the employer must appoint a supervisor to review the apprentices progress every 3 months and a chartered MRICS QS counsellor to review progress twice per year. Records from these reviews, plus the apprentices diary and submission tenmplates must be submitted to the university at the end of July each year as evidence that this training is progressing. We aim to prepare you to make a positive impact on the economic sector within which you will be employed. Our experienced teaching team are at the cutting edge of the discipline through academic enterprise, providing Continuing Professional Development to industry on topics spanning the likes of standard forms of contract, new rules of measurement and building information modelling. We incorporate these topics into the programme, in addition to mapping the modules against the professional competencies required by the RICS’s Assessment of Professional Competence. You can therefore take advantage of the resources we provide to develop your understanding of procurement, contract administration, data management, estimating and managing costs. You can then apply these tools to any building or civil engineering project of any scale, or to other projects in other industries of similar scale and complexity, like renewable energies or oil and gas. Your skills will embody the core technical competencies that define the quantity surveying profession as well as the soft transferable skills valued by many key employers. Fundamental themes of construction measurement, construction technology, law and economics and principles of ethics and sustainability are threaded throughout the five years of study.
