Course summary
Building surveyors get involved in every stage of a building’s life – design, construction and management. To succeed, you’ll need wide-ranging skills. Skills to survey buildings, assess materials, predict costs and lead others. We’ll give you all that and more.
Our Building Surveying (with Foundation Year) course starts with a foundation year to build your academic skills before progressing to the degree.
A key part of this course is the work placement. As it’s compulsory, employers have a guaranteed pool of talent, so top businesses return yearly to offer you a spot. Our focus is on helping you develop the skills you’ll use at work.
The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Chartered Institute of Building. You can become a student member of these industry bodies. Unlike many accredited courses, we believe you shouldn’t be limited to one pathway. The construction industry is broad, so we designed the course for you to try a range of specialisms. Our construction courses share content in years 1 to 3 so you can change course up until final year.
