Course summary
Quantity surveyors manage the commercial aspects of construction and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures. Their aim is to minimise costs and enhance value for money, delivering projects to the required quality and on time.
Our Quantity Surveying programme, which is part of the civil engineering and infrastructure cluster here at Aston, examines the economic and operational issues related to the construction industry.
What you’ll learn
On our course you’ll gain a working knowledge of the techniques, and an understanding of the skills, required by quantity surveyors and commercial managers within the construction industry. With sustainable construction methods and technology at the centre of your learning, you’ll also learn about cost planning and estimating, scheduling projects and building engineering and management.
In addition, as you’ll be learning and living in the middle of Britain’s second city, you’ll gain invaluable, real-life experience of the challenges and opportunities faced by the people and organisations responsible for developing our built environment. To help bring this to life there will be regular opportunities for engagement with local projects through a series of guest lectures, site visits and real-life projects.
The skills you will gain are in high demand and, as a graduate, you will be able to contribute to the ongoing development of the build environment in which we live and work.
Learning, teaching and assessment
Teaching won’t just be lectures, you’ll have workshops, guest lectures and visits to relevant sites to make sure your understanding is grounded in industry, ensuring you are ready for the working world when you graduate.
You’ll also have a year in industry, giving you the opportunity to put your learning into practical use, enabling you to grow in confidence, maturity and experience. We have excellent links with a wide range of construction companies and your placement will be arranged with support from the placement tutor.
Career prospects
Our quantity surveying graduates are in high demand, with many securing permanent positions with the companies they worked with during their degree.
The transferable management and technical skills developed during your studies will also be attractive to other professions and there is potential for graduates to go into diverse fields such as finance, logistics and general management, as well as quantity surveying and construction industries.
