We are pleased to announce that the Ab Initio Honours degree in Quantity Surveying Level 8 has been granted full recognition by the Society of Chartered Surveyors (SCS). The degree course meets all of the academic requirements of the SCS, and graduates can proceed to full membership after they have gained the required work experience, and taken the Society’s Assessment of Professional Competence. This is a significant achievement for the Institute following many years of development work by the Quantity Surveying team in the School of Engineering.
Pat Carter, Lecturer on the course considers it ‘ A significant development for us after many years of building up expertise and history in quantity surveying. With this award we are now among the small number of recognized colleges with an ab initio honours accredited programme. From the enquiries received about the course at our recent open day, we expect ongoing and healthy interest. This is also a significant educational development for the North West, and indeed will attract students from well beyond the region…’
Support for initiative
This positive result for the Institute is a demonstration of strong team effort within the School of Engineering and management support within the Institute. The Institute also acknowledges the vital contribution and support of The Society of Chartered Surveyors during the development process.
