This course integrates theory with practical application to equip students with real life management, communication and research skills.

Throughout the course students will be sharing modules with Building Surveying, Architectural Technology and Construction Management students. They will work on projects together with these students in multi-disciplinary teams while remaining focused on their own discipline. This prepares students for the world of work where Quantity Surveyors will work with Architectural Technologists, Building Surveyors and Construction Managers to ensure the successful completion of projects.
