The MSc in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management adopted an innovative and flexible approach for the delivery of this course which is designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
The programme will develop your knowledge and practical skills and enable you to undertake a variety of quantity surveying and commercial management roles in the construction sector.
2、Programme outline and structure
The course provides an opportunity to graduates from disciplines other than surveying to convert their transferable skills and extend their abilities in a critical way to the quantity surveying profession.
You will develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of procurement and construction contracts both in the UK and internationally.
You will acquire sound knowledge of financial management, measurement, project management and contract administration. The curriculum further places emphasis on Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a collaborative process and allows you to work in a multidisciplinary setting with students across other postgraduate Built Environment progarmmes.
The Master program has a high standing both academically and professionally amount recognized institute of higher education in UK
“The Department of Built Environment delivers an exciting range of professionally-accredited postgraduate programmes designed to develop innovative and creative professionals equipped to react to the challenges of the modern global built environment.”

Research Methods | To provide a critical understanding of the academic research process understanding the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake research in the built environment. |
Dissertation | To provide a critical understanding of the academic research process understanding the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake research in the built environment. |
Collaborative BIM Project | To allow students to follow BIM protocols and practice in a collaborative environment to achieve project success. |
Prince 2 | To develop the requisite skills and knowledge needed in order to apply the PRINCE2® method to the management of different stages of the project life cycle.td> |
Sustainable Procurement | To examine existing procurement options and their effectiveness in meeting the client’s requirements. To examine sustainable construction and the development of procurement strategies which address sustainable construction principles. |
Construction Contract Strategy | To develop a strategic knowledge and critical appreciation of construction contract law to enable the student to consider in detail the application of it to construction and engineering projects. |
QS Professional Skills | To allow students to apply the theory, concepts and procedures of quantity surveying professional skills using standard industry. |
Financial Management & BIM | The aim of the module is to introduce financial management techniques used in construction in order to manage the lifecycle cost of built environment facilities. The module will also deliver the fundamental concepts that link financial management and BIM, such as the cash flow forecasts, cost plans, cost value reconciliation and whole life cycle management of construction facilities. |
