About Building Surveying (Degree Apprenticeship), BSc (Hons) - at University of Portsmouth

Overview

Build your future with a professional degree that you study alongside your job. You’ll learn to handle the issues that inform decisions in building management, such as development costs, the viability of repairs, building law and property economics.

This is a degree apprenticeship course, so you’ll spend 1 day of your working week on your studies, with the other 4 in your current job. You’ll be able to put what you learn to work immediately, developing your career as you contribute to the success of your company. And your fees are covered by your employer, or the Government, so you won’t face any tuition costs. 

Course Highlights

  • Work toward Chartered Surveyor status, with the skills you'll need for registration embedded in your studies
  • Use laboratory and test house facilities where you’ll study material performance, surveying and Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques
  • Explore projects such as the Passivhaus standard housing development and The National Self Building and Renovation Centre
  • Apply practical surveying skills on site in real buildings, and learn from practising building surveyors and guest speakers
  • Have access to the University's student support services and community including the Library, study support, sports and recreation facilities, and the Students’ Union
  • Build a network of professional peers and fellow students from other surveying and civil engineering disciplines
  • Study alongside your job, with support from a personal University tutor and a workplace mentor

You'll typically go to university one day a week for around 30 weeks every year to attend lectures, seminars and workshops. On the weeks you don't go to University, you'll still spend 20% of your time studying or training away from your normal working environment.

Careers and opportunities

When you successfully complete your apprenticeship, you'll be a registered Chartered Surveyor.

You'll also have gained the professional knowledge and practical experience you need to advance your career in the building sector as a building surveyor, and you'll be able to show the skills and qualifications you need to be an ideal candidate for project and facilities management roles in your organisation and beyond.

You could also choose to set up your own business, or take a voluntary placement.

Ongoing career support – up to 5 years after you graduate

Get experience while you study, with support to find part-time jobs, volunteering opportunities, and work experience.

Towards the end of your degree and for up to five years after graduation, you’ll receive one-to-one support from our Graduate Recruitment Consultancy to help you find your perfect role.
