Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: K245
Here's what Robert Gordon University says about its Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management course.
New for September 2021, the Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management course is a stepping stone for students who see their future careers in the financial management and leadership of projects within built environment. It provides you the opportunity to progress towards becoming a Chartered Surveyor and can lead to career opportunities across the globe.
The course enables you to develop construction and quantity surveying core skills through Years 1 and 2, and then apply that learning to more complex project scenarios in Years 3 and 4.
You will be challenged to provide practical solutions to real life project scenarios drawn from the industry. In Semester 2 of Year 3, you will have the opportunity to extend your learning in the workplace through an Industrial Placement with an employer.
The final year project will require you to apply the skills and knowledge acquired from the course over the four years, particularly your problem-solving, creative-thinking and collaborative skills.

Most of the time I have to seek support for myself and even at that, it's usually a case of me being told to do it myself

2nd year student
Generally okay, could use more of each equipment/facility or a higher standard of it. Accommodation options are bad however, no real quality

2nd year student
Timetabling is generally bad in my course. A lot of the classes are too early and too long, and we tend to not have classes in our own engineering building.
