Educational Aims of the Course
To provide fundamental knowledge in and develop an advanced understanding of the theory and practice of construction technology, law, procurement, construction contracts, measurement, construction management, financial management , business management, information technology and project management in the wider business and built environment sectors. To provide opportunities for the critical appreciation and understanding of the significant factors constraining the effective management and development of the built environment, e.g. physical, legal, economic, sustainable and technological factors. To provide opportunities for individual student-centred study on project tasks that simulate real working practices in order to develop analytical, critical and problem solving skills such that they can define, investigate and analyse problems, form judgements, make decisions and demonstrate the acquisition of such qualities. To provide a well-balanced education which allows the student to achieve his/her full academic potential at first degree level and in doing so to facilitate the development of independent logical thought and judgement. To provide the framework within which students can achieve the level of attainment, appropriate to their abilities in the context of the programme of study. To produce a basis for general professional experience and to encourage a consciousness of the professional, business and commercial environment. To provide opportunities to work in a multidisciplinary environment to facilitate decision making in the lifecycle of a project. To prepare students for the transition from Higher Education to employment within a professional context; and develop those transferable, specialist and employability skills that all stakeholders could reasonably expect of students who successfully complete a Quantity Surveying programme. To encourage students to develop self-awareness in personal development and career planning and facilitate an awareness of the need to plan, develop and record lifelong learning.
