COURSE CURRICULUM

The Building Surveying BSc (Hons) program provides a structured progression over three years, equipping students with the knowledge and skills required for a professional career in surveying and the built environment. In Year 1, students gain a foundation in the evolution of the built environment, development and construction economics, construction technology, law for surveyors, property surveying, and professional practice, with academic language support available for international and EU students. Year 2 builds on this knowledge with modules covering design and specification, sustainable building technologies, planning and building legislation, contract administration and practice, building performance and pathology, and business and professional development, further strengthening both technical and professional competencies. Academic language support continues for international and EU students. In Year 3, students focus on advanced applications of their learning, including the building advice centre, design and construction economics, heritage and conservation, and advanced building appraisal. The final year also includes a substantial surveying dissertation, which allows students to undertake independent research and demonstrate their understanding of complex issues within the field. The program combines theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and professional development, providing a comprehensive preparation for a career as a Chartered Building Surveyor and enabling students to engage confidently with diverse projects in both historic and contemporary contexts.
