Quantity surveyors play a key role in the construction industry, ensuring that development costs are appropriately and accurately managed. Kingston University is a long-established Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors partnership university, and this course will equip students with the skills and knowledge to start them on a career that offers enormous scope for team working, travel and financial rewards.
Whatever the first degree students might have, this course will help them apply their skills and abilities to the quantity surveying profession. Through project and teamwork, they will develop knowledge and understanding of procurement, construction contracts, construction economics, and cost planning. They will also be trained in research methodology. Through a dissertation (research project), students will be able to focus on an area of interest, gaining valuable research skills. They will develop a range of professional skills to prepare them for their career, including problem solving and organisation, data collation, review and synopsis, time management and computing.
Graduates have progressed to roles in organisations such as Mace, Laing O'Rourke, Trabur, Transport for London, Willmott Dixon and Wates.
