Built Environment BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying
What’s it about?
Quantity surveyors manage and control financial aspects of the construction process. They work on behalf of contracting organisations or representatives of the client, aiming to ensure that the project is completed within budget.
This degree will educate and train you to the highest standards set by the RICS, developing your knowledge of the economic, legal, technical and management aspects of quantity surveying.
What will I learn?
This programme is modular in structure and combines academic study with project work.
You will learn how to use computing resources to financially manage the development, construction and long-term operation of buildings. As quantity surveyors often act as project managers, you will learn how to select, manage and coordinate the resources needed for the completion of a construction project.
You will study essential foundation subjects in common with students on other built environment programmes as well as subjects specific to the programme. You will complete a research dissertation on a built environment subject in your final year.
Modules include: • Economics and Management • Environmental Science and Services • Construction Process Management • Construction Economics • Risk and Value Management • Construction Law and Dispute Resolution
How will I learn?
Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures and seminars, with most work being done through directed study.
“A lot of teachers we’ve had have actually been in the industry before they’ve turned to teaching. They’re really experienced, they know what they’re talking about and they’re really friendly as well.”
Lisa-Anna Malecki Quantity Surveying student
Can I get work experience?
Full-time students are given the option to take an industrial placement year. This takes place between years two and three and offers you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in the workplace and develop professional and technical skills.
Students are responsible for securing their own work placement. To help with this process we will support students to develop their employability skills.
Where can I get a job?
