Building Surveying | Bsc (hons) in Leeds Beckett University

Course Details

Building surveyors are involved in the design and construction of new buildings as well as the repair, refurbishment and management of existing structures.

This course will equip you with the skills you will need in design, law, management and technology to become a chartered surveyor. It will enable you to look at a building and see potential, create plans and consider practical aspects of its use. It considers the historic elements of the built environment and how to best approach it to maintain and enhance the buildings that are important to our heritage.

Our students gain hands-on experience during site visits to modern developments and historic projects while studying for a degree that is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Graduates are eligible for full membership of the RICS following an acceptable period of approved professional practice and a successful final assessment of professional competence by the RICS.

This course offers the opportunity to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. Students who choose the sandwich route find it helps with both their studies and getting a job after graduation. It can build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV. Leeds Beckett advertise lots of placement opportunities and provide support in helping you find the right placement for you.
