Course introduction: As a building surveyor, you’ll be a professional working in the construction industry, advising clients on residential and commercial building activities. As most of these issues need solutions, you’ll be calling on your ability to investigate and think independently – an enquiring and logical mind is a great asset. You may decide to specialise in historic building conservation, or concentrate on innovative building techniques.

Course programme
You’ll learn to diagnose building faults, undertake inspections, and apply construction technology principles when advising on preventative or remedial solutions. Develop knowledge of contractual procedures, insurance requirements, data collation methods and their application and the use of maintenance information and operational building maintenance policies. The course is fully accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and you will be eligible for Chartered Surveyor status once you have gained suitable experience after graduating and met the competency requirements of the RICS. You will study the same modules, and complete the same course work as a full-time student, but over a longer period of time. You’ll generally come in to University for one day per week, and a four-year Honours degree will take around six years to complete part-time.
