BSc Building Surveying

This course in building surveying at Coventry University was created with the help of experts from the industry and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It gives students practical experience using new technology like drones and thermal imaging cameras. The course teaches important subjects such as how buildings fail, how to build sustainably, and how to manage projects.

The first year of this course is a common year with other related programmes. This allows students to get a broad understanding of the field and gives them the opportunity to switch to a different specialisation if they want to. By the time they are done, they will have a good grasp of key concepts in construction, property, and surveying, including legal rules and professional ethics.
