Educational Aims of the Course

The programme aims to give students a comprehensive understanding of Quantity Surveying, emphasising its significance within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction sectors globally, nationally, and locally. Graduates will be adept at providing cost management advice throughout a building's lifecycle, using value engineering to enhance cost efficiency and project value. Essential skills for the role include proficiency in industry-standard software and information modelling, as well as strong leadership, teamwork, and communication abilities.

The course offers a well-rounded education to help students reach their full academic potential at the undergraduate level. This facilitates the development of independent thinking and judgement. Students will engage in critical, analytical, and reflective thinking grounded in evidence and research, preparing them for various professional roles within the construction industry.

The curriculum is designed to ensure that graduates possess a deep understanding of commercial management, design economics, construction technology, and other fundamental areas crucial to the field. This includes fostering an acute awareness of regulatory, health, safety, and environmental standards to ensure responsible practice.

Furthermore, the programme encourages personal growth and self-awareness in personal development, inclusivity, and career planning. It aims to develop transferable skills and a lifelong learning mindset, ensuring graduates are well-prepared to adapt to and excel in a dynamic professional environment.
