What this course is about
UCAS code: K240
Here's what Glasgow Caledonian University says about its Quantity Surveying course.
If you enjoy numbers and planning, you can become a Quantity Surveyor. Study the financial, legal, managerial, and economic aspects of project management at degree level. Available part-time.
Quantity Surveyors are an essential link between the designer and contractor on construction projects, providing key advice on costs and contracts.
Quantity Surveyors require a wide range of skills and knowledge covering the financial, legal, managerial, economic and communicative aspects of a project from inception to completion.
This course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). These accreditations provide graduates access to RICS and CIOB membership via the graduate routes. All second-year full-time students have the opportunity to spend one week in Europe as part of their studies.
A 24-week industrial placement is incorporated into Year 3 of the programme. The industry placement allows students to understand the application of their taught skills and benefit from work-based learning. Full-time students in Year 3 also take part in an "Interact" design project, working as a team with students from the Glasgow School of Art, the University of Glasgow and the University of the West of Scotland to develop a network of contacts and solve a specific design problem.
Graduate prospects
Graduates of the course have been recruited by leading organisations in the construction and property sectors such as BAM Group, Laing O'Rourke, Lend Lease, Balfour Beatty, Turner and Townsend and Doig+Smith.

Glasgow Caledonian University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
