What is surveying?
Whether you’re a maths person, a people person or a details person, there’s a surveying career out there for you. The great thing about being a surveyor in most disciplines is that two days are rarely the same.
Most kinds of surveyors are in demand, so you’ll be joining a profession with great opportunities for career progression.
We offer degrees in real estate, building surveying, quantity surveying and building control surveying.
All our surveying degrees are accredited by the Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors (RICS), giving you the opportunity to gain chartered status after you graduate.
