The Graduate Diploma in Quantity Surveying is a practical option for degree-qualified architectural technologists and civil engineers who wish to change pathway within the construction industry.
The programme is designed for students who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in quantity surveying. It enables them to perform with a strong sense of responsibility for their own practice and to be capable of effectively collaborating with other construction-related disciplines. They also learn how to provide strategic, budgetary and financial advice on development options through the life cycle of a construction project, and how to apply elements of construction economic theory to provide advice on the risks and uncertainty associated with cost-related project outcomes. An industry project within the course allows students to apply their research and critical thinking skills.
