The course is tailored to meet the demands of the employers and is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

Why study Quantity Surveying?

This course gives you the chance to develop the skills you need to work in construction teams, applying the latest processes and technologies.
Two crucial tools for todays Quantity Surveyor are Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Our course will give you the chance to explore both areas and understand their relevance to construction.
Opportunities to work collaboratively with students across other courses in Architecture and Built Environment may give you experience and understanding in how to work in multidisciplinary teams.

Lean Construction focuses on delivering minimum cost and maximum value for a construction project, looking at how the process of design, construction and end-use of a building is managed. Building Information Modelling is used to enhance Lean Construction, giving surveyors tools to manage the costs of materials and labour in projects. On the course youll be able to explore both areas to understand how you could deliver better value for clients, wherever your career may take you.
