BSc Building Surveying

The BSc Building Surveying at Kingston University is designed to help you understand the technical, legal, and conservation challenges related to buildings and structures. It is a 3‑year full‑time programme that equips you with the necessary skills to assess building conditions, advise on legal implications, and design schemes.

Accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), this course covers core topics such as construction technology, building pathology, legal and regulatory issues (including party wall matters), building conservation, and computer‑aided design modelling. When you graduate with this degree, you'll know how to apply industry tools and techniques to advise clients, produce technical surveys, and manage projects in construction, conservation, and property advisory sectors.

In this programme, you'll learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops, computer lab sessions, practical site visits, and group projects. Aside from guided sessions, you will learn independently (self‑study).

Assessment is done through a combination of coursework, practicals (including site-based and lab work), and exams. This method will help you apply what you learned in both practical and theoretical ways.
