Pre-Master's (Stage 1)

MSc Quantity Surveying

On our MSc Quantity Surveying degree, you will learn how to add value to projects through demonstrating excellent knowledge and skills in managing cost and information, advancing practices and procedures, and managing risk effectively.

This course is aimed at both cognate graduates with a background in architecture, engineering, construction and real estate as well as non-cognate graduates working in construction or interested in taking advantage of the excellent job opportunities in the sector but have no built environment degree, qualification or experience.

Non-cognate graduates from any discipline can undertake the MSc Quantity Surveying as a conversion Master’s course en route to becoming a chartered Quantity Surveyor. The course will also equip cognate graduates and professionals in architecture, engineering and construction with the skills to become industry leaders in the management of project costs.
