Skills

Graduate with an advanced set of skills and professional expertise, ready for industry. 

Quantity Surveyors manage the financial aspects of construction projects, ensuring they are completed within budget while meeting quality standards. They prepare cost estimates, budgets, and financial plans, conducting feasibility studies, and managing contracts and procurement. They monitor project expenditure, assess the value of completed work, and handle payments to contractors and suppliers. Quantity Surveyors also provide cost advice, manage risks, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Throughout your time at Roehampton, you will develop your technical expertise, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. You will graduate ready to excel in the dynamic field of Quantity Surveying. 

Learning

You will learn via a combination of lectures, workshops, group seminars, group tutorials, and practical experimentation.

As much as possible, students will be taught in interdisciplinary groups, in open studio spaces, and on projects. There will be some formal lectures in order to deliver discipline relevant knowledge, skills and attributes. Where this takes place, formal lectures will be kept to a minimum and will be followed up by interactive group seminar and tutorial sessions in the studio spaces.  

Assessment

You’ll be set authentic assessments, meaning that your projects, tasks and exercises will replicate the working world of architectural engineering.

You will be assessed on a variety of things which will include the submission of technical reports, essays, in-class open and closed book tests, online assessments, and oral presentations. The programme includes both formative assessment, with respect to interim reviews and feedback / feedforward and summative assessment.

Careers

There are a number of opportunities for graduates of Quantity Surveying in the built environment sector, internationally, nationally, and regionally.

Many Quantity Surveying professionals work in Project Management, Cost consultancy and as Main Contractors. Quantity Surveying professionals can also play a key role in the building embodied carbon industry due to the increase in interest in these areas as we move towards a zero-carbon society.
