Our degree courses with Foundation year offer the opportunity to prepare you for advanced study before you progress on to a full honours degree at the University of Westminster.
Whether you do not feel ready for degree-level study, don’t have the right qualifications, want to change your subject specialism or return to study after an absence from education, we aim to encourage a broad range of students to undertake our Foundation year in order to progress onto their full honours degree with us.
The Foundation year is designed to give you the opportunity to explore new ideas, opening up new perspectives on the key debates within your chosen field. Core modules accelerate your academic and professional development, bringing together like-minded students to think about the ‘big ideas’ within your discipline. You will also take modules from areas closely related to your chosen field, giving you the chance to develop a cross-disciplinary perspective on your course.
On successful completion of the Foundation year, you will be able to move on to study for the Building Surveying BSc Honours degree over a further three years study.
Building surveying offers an exciting, dynamic profession focused on the physical, functional and economic performance of buildings – new builds, building control, refurbishment work, restorations, maintenance and design.
Fully accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), our degree aims to equip you with the professional and technical skills and knowledge needed to become a building surveyor.
You may be called on to report and advise on the condition of various property assets, identifying defects and structural problems, designing, specifying and administrating refurbishment projects or interpreting the meaning of 'repairing obligations' in a lease, for example. You could go on to work in private practice, the public sector, building control, property management or the conservation of historic buildings.
Our construction courses share a common first year, allowing you to gain knowledge of the different professional roles and the interdisciplinary nature of the modern construction industry. At the end of the second year, should your interests change, it's possible to switch pathway. You’ll mix with students from across the various pathways, broadening your social circles and networks, and be taught by our professionally qualified lecturers, who will share their experience of working in the property, construction and surveying sectors prior to joining academia.
Our central London location and numerous industry contacts, which include Great Portland Estates, Mace, Lendlease, The Portman Estate and The Crown Estate, enable us to invite practising professionals to give guest lectures and regularly contribute to the course. They provide buildings as case studies for coursework, learning materials (drawings, reports, client briefs etc.) and come into the University to give face-to-face formative feedback on students’ work. We aim to create authentic learning activities to ensure you are business-ready for employment.

Careers:-
Building surveying is an internationally recognised and wide-ranging professional discipline, embracing many areas of property and construction and offering opportunities to pursue careers outside the UK.
Around the world, building surveyors deliver a wide range of professional services, not only in their traditional role, but also in associated disciplines such as project management, facilities management and construction administration. They work in many different kinds of organisations and can undertake a wide range of building surveying activities or specialise in a particular area of work such as project management, conservation, building control, party walls, and dilapidations.
Building surveyors have specialist skills and knowledge relating to all aspects of buildings, from inception, feasibility, design and construction to their strategic and tactical management, repair, refurbishment, conversion and conservation. In addition, many are experts in compliance and implementation of building regulations and other statutory controls, building surveys for acquisition, condition surveys, diagnosis of building defects, the specification and supervision of repair work, implementing and managing maintenance work, and negotiations with adjacent property owners when building works affect adjacent property owners’ legal rights.
