Master of Science - Building Surveying (Professional Placement)

This course is ideal for those students who are looking to further their building surveying qualification and gain entry into the construction industry. Their learning will reflect the developing sustainability agenda with which construction professionals must engage.

Kingston University allow students to take the option of a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the university cannot guarantee the placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. Students may find securing a professional placement difficult as they are highly competitive and challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding. It is very important for students to prepare and apply themselves if this is the route they wish to take. Employers look for great written and oral communication skills and an excellent CV/portfolio. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.

Kingston's graduates of this course are working in positions as diverse as the Royal Palaces, housing associations as well as building surveying consultancy firms.
