Professional accreditation

This course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).When you graduate, you need to spend two years in practice and pass an Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) to get full membership. The placement you do as part of this course may qualify as one year of your APC.

It's also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES).

Placements

Students who get work experience tend to graduate with better degrees. Experience also hones your skills, industry knowledge and professional network, making you highly employable when you graduate.

If you choose the four year (sandwich) course, you'll spend a year away from the University on a work placement after Year two.

Our students secure placements in a range of organisations as well as with construction partner employers.

Students have worked on placements with some of the top 10 construction contractors and cost consultancy firms in the UK. The majority were offered a position with their placement employer upon graduating.
