COURSE CURRICULUM

The Quantity Surveying MSc includes a range of modules designed to develop advanced technical, financial, and managerial skills for the construction and built environment sector. The Applied Research Project, repeated as a major component, allows students to undertake in-depth independent research focused on real-world industry challenges, applying theoretical knowledge to practical problems. Built Environment Economics and Finance explores the financial systems, economic principles, and cost structures that underpin construction projects. Construction Design and Technology examines modern construction methods, materials, and technological innovations used in the industry. Managing Risk and Uncertainty focuses on identifying, analysing, and responding to risks within complex construction projects. Procurement and Contract Practice develops understanding of contractual frameworks, procurement strategies, and legal responsibilities in construction management. Quantity Surveying Practice provides practical insight into cost control, measurement, and project valuation techniques. Sustainable Built Environments addresses environmental responsibility and sustainable development within construction and urban planning. Together, these modules integrate theory and practice, enabling students to develop strong analytical, technical, and decision-making skills. The program prepares graduates for professional roles in quantity surveying, commercial management, and construction leadership, equipping them to contribute effectively to sustainable and financially efficient building projects in a global industry context.
