Our RICS accreditation is a reflection of our high standards of teaching. It also shows that you’ll be learning industry relevant content which can be applied in everyday working life, before and after graduation.

Start in January, April, July or October and gain a respected building surveyor qualification around in two to four years. Plus, you'll be able to pay your fees in module by module instalments, spreading the cost out over the duration of your studies.
