Foundation Pathway in Engineering, Computing, and Technology - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Quantity Surveying

Program Description

Students in these disciplines will find it necessary to work confidently in multi-disciplinary teams throughout their careers. A foundation in Engineering, Computing and Technology is structured around projects working with others from different degree programmes, enabling them to begin to develop this extremely important transferable skill.

Develop the knowledge and skills needed to create technologies and applications that will change the world. During the Foundation, students will have opportunities for practical work and experimentation across a range of elements, including engineering design tasks centred on developing simple robots, in order to introduce the challenges and benefits of realising theoretical ideas. There’ll be lectures and seminars combined with work-based learning and plenty of course options to personalise studies.

Quantity surveyors are in demand around the world. Through the three-year Quantity Surveying BSc (Hons) degree course, accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, students will learn to provide strategic advice and services as construction projects are designed and developed. At ARU, the Chelmsford-based course offers students strong links with industry, along with industry-standard software and facilities. The guest lectures share the latest ideas and issues in quantity surveying, while an optional placement year will further prepare students with the skills to work in professional practice.
