BSc Building Surveying

The BSc Building Surveying at Wrexham University teaches students how to oversee the completion of construction projects, as well as work with property owners to ensure that materials meet the required standards and manage budgets. This technical course spans three years and includes modules that build students' skills to perform in the construction or project management sector.

In this programme, students learn about reconnaissance, which is useful for selecting project locations, as well as the techniques to apply when inspecting buildings to assess their condition, identify defects, and recommend repairs. They will also understand design, construction, and maintenance, and how to make projects comply with planning laws and regulations.

Additionally, students study modules like pathology, materials, and construction, as well as professional subjects like law, economics, and project management, which prepare them for careers in the property and construction industries. This degree is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Learning is through lectures, seminars, practical sessions, peer appraisal, site visits, group discussions, and presentations. Assessment methods include written reports, verbal presentations, laboratory analyses, tests, examinations, and coursework.
