Quantity Surveying

You’ll learn through interactive lectures, workshops, group activities and practical simulations, including BIM and Virtual Reality. You’ll work with construction case studies and industry informed scenarios, applying your knowledge to commercial challenges. Guest sessions from industry professionals will give you insight into current practice, while independent study and reflection will help you develop as a confident practitioner. 

You’ll be assessed through a mix of written assignments, project simulations, presentations and group work that reflect professional quantity surveying practice. You’ll tackle tasks involving procurement, cost management, contract administration and digital tools, with regular feedback helping you develop your skills. Your research project will also demonstrate your ability to investigate a contemporary built environment issue independently. 

We encourage a hands-on approach to teaching. Students learn by doing, putting their theory into practice in immersive environments and real-life scenarios.  

Instead of just reading textbooks and listening to lectures, we'll ensure you have countless first-hand experiences and opportunities to get actively involved in your chosen profession, gaining practical skills that will prepare you for your future career.  

From hands-on projects and real-world simulations to industry collaborations working with real clients, tackling real problems, and developing the skills employers are looking for. We create graduates who are prepared for the future. People ready to build their careers. 

You’ll have access to a dedicated built environment project room, transformative learning spaces and bespoke computer labs with the latest software, such as Bluebeam, Revit, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Autodesk QTO, CostX, Synchro, and Navisworks.   

You’ll also have access to the University’s library and digital learning resources, including academic journals, professional guidance, industry standards and relevant datasets. Library support sessions will help you make the most of these resources throughout your studies.
