Quantity Surveying BSc(Hons)
University of HuddersfieldUniversity of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield HD1 3DH
Course overview
Our Quantity Surveying BSc(Hons) course could provide the first step to becoming a qualified Quantity Surveyor. The courses accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). It has been developed to work alongside our Architecture BA(Hons) and courses in Architectural Technology and Construction Project Management, to help develop a strong understanding of professionalism within the construction industry and how to work in multidisciplinary teams.
Two crucial tools for today’s quantity surveyor are Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Lean Construction focuses on delivering minimum cost and maximum value for a construction project, looking at how the process of design, construction and end-use of a building is managed. BIM enhances Lean Construction, giving surveyors tools to manage the costs of materials and labour in projects.
On the course, you’ll explore both areas to understand how you could deliver better value to future clients. This surveying course also provides the skills to enable you to manage the commercial and contractual aspects of the construction process. Once you’ve enrolled on the Quantity Surveying course, you can switch to Construction Project Management or Architectural Technology (with the agreement of your tutors) at the end of the first year if your interests change.
We’ve ranked 9th in the UK for Building (Times Good University Guide 2026) In the National Student Survey 2025, Building is ranked top in Yorkshire for learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, academic support, learning resources and organisation and management and top 10 in the UK for teaching on my course and student voice.
