ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Quantity surveying is not a new programme but, not many of us know what it actually is.

Take for instance the buildings we see around us, or even the house we live in. We never knew the process of how it was made. This is where quantity surveyors play a role. They are engaged to control the finances and the contractual administration of construction projects.

This is a challenging programme alongside Engineering and Architecture which leads to an interesting career.
