Building Surveying
Develop the analytical and intellectual skills you’ll need for a successful career in Building Surveying. Step outside of the classroom and gain hands-on, real-world industry experience.
Our stimulating, problem-solving approach engages you with the whole building surveying process. You’ll spend time out and about in the local environment and on construction sites.
Assessment of your work is balanced between the academic requirements of a degree and the practical nature of your chosen career. Rather than writing academic essays, you’ll be producing reports and projects based on real-life scenarios.
The course is delivered flexibly, including part-time delivery just one day per week, allowing you to study whilst in employment.
There’s an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry for full-time students between Year 2 and Year 3.
