BSc (Honours) Professional Practice in Construction Quantity Surveying
Degree apprenticeship
Start or continue a professional career as a construction quantity surveyor in the construction industry. Gain a degree while developing your technical knowledge, initiative and interpersonal skills required of the profession.
How does the degree apprenticeship work?
You study a university course alongside 30+ hours of employment a week – so you'll need a relevant job role before you apply. The combination of the course and the job has to meet a national ‘apprenticeship standard’ – in this case the Construction Quantity Surveyor standard. So you get to study for a recognised qualification, while earning a salary and having no student fees to pay.
The course normally takes 3 years part-time – then you'll complete an endpoint assessment within a further 6 months.
