Year 1 explores the legal, technical and economic context in which construction professionals work. There are modules in sustainable design and development and construction technology. These will prepare you for measurement – one of the core technical skills of a quantity surveyor.

Year 2 examines more complex commercial structures. You'll be introduced to cost-planning technique and contract law. You'll study the pre/post-contract financial and contract administration duties of the quantity surveyor.

Year 3 has modules in consultancy and project management. These cover the consultant-client relationship, organisational change management, project control and project team leadership. The course culminates in a major group project, along with an independent research project. You'll have the chance to study, in depth, a relevant topic of your choice.

On this course, you'll also develop career-boosting skills such as:

presenting yourself;
working in teams;
writing reports;
debating current topics;
using IT; and
initiating and executing research projects.
