MSc PG Dip Building Surveying

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc and top up/PG Dip; Full-time and Part-time

Course Description

Not just a desk job

Buildings are an integral part of all of our lives; our homes, schools, work places and public places wouldn’t exist without building surveyors. This course will teach the underpinnings of building construction, as well as how to maintain and use them sustainably. Being a building surveyor is very varied work; much of the job is undertaken on site visits (it’s not just a desk job) and no two days will be the same.

The programme is for those involved in the maintenance, refurbishment, alteration and extension of existing buildings, or in project management and design for public bodies, commercial organisations and professional practice firms.
