Course summary
In our Building Surveying course, you can expect to apply your technical and legal expertise to projects ranging from brand-new, multi-million-pound commercial developments to small-scale refurbishments and conversions of residential properties. You will assume various roles, including project management, design, and contract administration. Your skills and knowledge in building pathology will be regularly tested in the preservation of fragile or historic structures, as well as in the surveying and inspection of a range of properties. As a building surveyor, you can look forward to a rewarding and fulfilling career enriched by the breadth of skills, knowledge, and abilities you will acquire.
This professional course strongly emphasises employability, with many of our graduates being retained by their placement employers for post-graduation roles, from national consultancies and international firms to local practices and public sector employers. Our strong connections with the industry ensure that you will have opportunities for site visits and to engage with professionals, helping to contextualise your academic studies. You will also attend a residential field study trip to one of the major cities in the UK to compare practices. Throughout our building and surveying course, you will begin to develop the core competencies needed to become a Chartered Building Surveyor.
