Overview
Build your future with a professional degree that you study alongside your job. You’ll learn to handle the issues that inform decisions in building management, such as development costs, the viability of repairs, building law and property economics.
This is a degree apprenticeship course, so you’ll spend 1 day of your working week on your studies, with the other 4 in your current job. You’ll be able to put what you learn to work immediately, developing your career as you contribute to the success of your company. And your fees are covered by your employer, or the Government, so you won’t face any tuition costs.
Course Highlights
- Work toward Chartered Surveyor status, with the skills you'll need for registration embedded in your studies
- Use laboratory and test house facilities where you’ll study material performance, surveying and Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques
- Explore projects such as the Passivhaus standard housing development and The National Self Building and Renovation Centre
- Apply practical surveying skills on site in real buildings, and learn from practising building surveyors and guest speakers
- Have access to the University's student support services and community including the Library, study support, sports and recreation facilities, and the Students’ Union
- Build a network of professional peers and fellow students from other surveying and civil engineering disciplines
- Study alongside your job, with support from a personal University tutor and a workplace mentor
You'll typically go to university one day a week for around 30 weeks every year to attend lectures, seminars and workshops. On the weeks you don't go to University, you'll still spend 20% of your time studying or training away from your normal working environment.
Careers and opportunities
When you successfully complete your apprenticeship, you'll be a registered Chartered Surveyor.

You could also choose to set up your own business, or take a voluntary placement.
