Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Quantity Surveying

The BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying with Foundation Year is designed for those seeking a career in the construction industry, providing the knowledge and skills required to contribute to the future of the built environment. Students work collaboratively with tutors, industry practitioners, and specialists to develop a strong understanding of the sector and its evolving demands.

The four-year programme includes a Foundation Year, which offers a broad preparatory curriculum for students who do not meet the direct entry requirements for the degree. This year builds essential academic and practical skills, with progression dependent on successfully passing all modules.

The course addresses key challenges facing the modern construction industry, including globalisation, climate change, complex regulations, and the increasing role of technology. Through a focus on innovation and creative problem-solving, students engage with real-world scenarios and industry partners while developing competencies aligned with professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Graduates gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal, technical, managerial, economic, social, and environmental aspects of construction, enabling them to manage both commercial and civil engineering projects. The programme also develops expertise in areas such as cost management, procurement, quantification, risk management, design economics, and buildability, alongside an awareness of collaborative working across diverse teams and disciplines.
