This ensures that graduates areequipped with the appropriate quantity surveying and construction knowledge and enterprising spirit topractise professionally and ethically. Thus, the course will:address industry’s demand for graduates who can apply the principles of quantity surveying, costmanagement and commercial management to the execution of projects from inception right through todisposal of the building within the construction sector;enable students to pursue careers in commercial and cost management and quantity surveying at a levelwhich requires the exercise of sound professional judgement, and initiative, and the ability to makepractical yet informed decisions on complex projects with unpredictable circumstances that reflect aresponsible, ethical, and socially aware outlook;furnish students with a detailed understanding of the principles of commercial management and quantitysurveying, combined with an understanding of wider construction issues such as digital measurement,data management, BIM, construction technology, economics and finance, construction contracts and law;provide a multi-disciplinary education in quantity surveying, combined with an appreciation of a range ofconstruction related areas, thereby providing access to a wide range of future career paths in project

management, construction law and BIM;require students to participate in group projects where the project team members are drawn from a rangeof associated construction disciplines;develop the ability to research familiar and unfamiliar subject areas related to BIM, commercialmanagement, quantity surveying and construction, thereby enhancing the application of key issues intoreal life;provide the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills already gained, in an appropriate constructionenvironment, thereby broadening the student’s knowledge of construction industry procedures andpractices.What makes this programme distinctive?The BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying course is professionally accredited by the Royal Institution of CharteredSurveyors (RICS), Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), and Quantity Surveying International (QSi).Professional accreditation is provided through the partnership arrangements between the University ofWolverhampton and the professional bodies. Accreditation gives the graduate the opportunity to qualify as achartered surveyor once appropriate industrial experience has been obtained and through a successfulassessment of professional competence, as directed by the RICS.Key features of the delivery of the course are:traditional and digital measurement, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and core principles required bya quantity surveyor, commercial manager or cost consultant provided by lecturers and practitioners fromwithin the discipline.The use of live projects and work based learning to enhance and development all the key employabilityskills required by the modern cost consultantsBe taught and supported in the classroom and one-on-one by an award wining team of lecturers andresearchers.Supported in industry to obtain their professional body membership during and after they have graduatedHave the opportunity to apply for industry placement both in the UK and overseasA placement can be undertaken anywhere; local, national or even, in some instances, international.
