About Quantity Surveying in University of Salford

Quantity surveyors plan and manage the procurement and financial aspects of construction projects. With core skills ranging from managing construction contracts to leading project teams, their role is at the heart of the built environment. With an increasing focus on sustainability in construction, quantity surveying is fast-becoming a popular postgraduate study route.

Designed as a standalone conversion programme, our postgraduate quantity surveying degree is an ideal choice for graduates with a legal, business or geography background, who are seeking a different career focus for their skills. With accreditation by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and exemption from RICS academic entry requirements, the course is also a solid choice for existing built environment employees who are keen to cement their skills with a recognised qualification.

There are few better places in the UK to study quantity surveying. In 2019, Salford is once again ranked amongst the world top 100 centres for architecture and built environment study (QS 2019). Led by academics with industry experience, we're at the heart of the UK's largest property and construction market outside of London, with a host of local case studies and live projects to study.

Quantity surveying is an in-demand global role. With talented quantity surveyors who can provide a cost management service to the construction industry in short supply, you'll graduate with a recognised qualification ready to take advantage of exciting career opportunities either in the UK, or overseas in Asia, Europe or the Middle East.
