This Building Surveying MSc is designed as a conversion course, making it an ideal choice for those without an undergraduate degree in property or construction-related fields.

Throughout the programme, students explore key areas such as construction technology, sustainability, building adaptation, and contract administration. The curriculum is informed by industry professionals and mapped to the requirements of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Students benefit from practical learning through site visits, guest lectures, and the use of industry-standard technology, including AutoCAD and Revit. Available in both full-time (one year) and part-time (two years) study modes, this course provides a comprehensive foundation for those looking to join the diverse and fulfilling surveying profession. Graduates are well-prepared for roles in large multi-disciplinary practices across the public and private sectors.
