Building Surveying BSc (Hons)

Oxford Brookes University

Building surveyors get involved in every stage of a building’s life – design, construction and management. So to succeed in your career, you’ll need a huge range of skills. Skills to survey buildings, to assess materials, predict costs and lead others. We’ll give you all that and more.A key part of this course is the work placement year. As it’s compulsory, it means employers have a guaranteed pool of talent, so we get top businesses coming back each year to offer you a spot. And it means we can focus on helping you develop the skills you’ll actually use in the working world.The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Chartered Institute of Building. You can become a student member of these industry bodies. However, unlike many accredited courses, we believe you shouldn’t be limited to one pathway. The construction industry is so broad that we designed the course for you to try your hand at a range of specialisms. Our construction courses share content in years 1 to 3 so you can change course up until year 4.
