BSc (Hons) Surveying

Offering a common first year, Surveying offers students the flexibility to experience both building and quantity surveying-based modules. This provides students the opportunity to decide which of these disciplines they wish to pursue throughout the remainder of their studies.

Both building and quantity surveying graduates are sought by a wide variety of employers for their transferable skills, commercial, financial and business acumen, and their technical abilities.

Building Surveying

This type of surveying is involved with the maintenance, adaption and repair of buildings. Students will develop the skills required to prepare scheme designs, programmes for completion and specification of works. Building surveyors work across residential, commercial, industrial, leisure and agriculture projects, providing professional advice on property and construction. This can be from new design and development to restoration and maintenance of existing buildings.

Quantity Surveying

Quantity Surveyors are professionals that provide advice and services associated with procurement, value and cost, contract administration and project management. This can include cost planning and commercial management from beginning to end of a project. Graduates can work access a wide range of projects including those in building, civil engineering, heavy and offshore engineering and the oil and gas industry.

Placement option year 3 (all courses)

Eight month paid placement.

Students undertaking the placement route must return for their fourth year, resulting in a bachelor’s degree with honors.
