About Building Surveying, Bsc (hons) in University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)
Develop the analytical and intellectual skills you need for a successful career in surveying on this hands-on course.

Assessment of your work is balanced between the academic requirement of a degree and the practical nature of your chosen career - so, rather than write academic essays, you’ll be expected to produce reports and projects based on real-life scenarios.
- The course is delivered flexibly, including part-time delivery just one day per week, allowing you to study whilst in employment.
- The course has been recognised with triple accreditation by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE).
- You will also study alongside students on the construction project management, facilities management and quantity surveying degrees, allowing you to share knowledge.
