The programme is designed to bring the learner from a presumed ‘knowledge-less’ base (with respect to the discipline of Quantity Surveying) to a position where he/she is at a level whereby participation in a professional quantity surveying environment is the logical next step. This is designed to happen in a steady progression over four years, the first year dealing with introductory subjects at a basic level in each case, with more detailed work being undertaken progressively over the succeeding years. Specialist modules are introduced as the programme progresses, so from an introduction to Quantity Surveying skills and topics of a construction nature in Year One the student will be study, over the succeeding years, Contract Administration, Measurement, Construction Economics, Property and Facilities Management, Construction Law, BIM (Building Information Modelling for Quantity Surveyors), culminating in the preparation and submission of a Dissertation at the end of the Final Year. The graduate will now have the opportunity to progress to full membership of a professional body such as The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland/Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and The Chartered Institute of Building.
