Applied learning Field trips
The course includes an international field trip, placing you in a challenging environment where you complete a development project. Working with students from related subjects, you’ll increase your understanding of the different roles in the profession that interact on a daily basis – as well as how a quantity surveyor fits in with these roles. The project also develops the skills and knowledge you’ll need to become an effective professional practitioner.
Previous field trips have taken place in Shanghai and Toronto, with assistance from international surveying firms. You may also have the opportunity to study and work abroad, and gain hands-on experience of the education environment – with the possibility of funding through the Erasmus+ programme (until 2023) or the Turing Scheme.
Networking
Employability is embedded throughout the course – modules have been designed to reflect the demands of both the professional body and relevant industry employers. This is supported by the university’s employment and careers service, departmental employment advisers and events such as the department careers day.
