Introduction
The Bachelor of Quantity Surveying programme aims to produce professional graduates who are able to manage the financial and procurement processes of construction projects, including legal matters. Throughout the programme, quantity surveying skills are developed progressively from the elementary concepts to underlying planning, estimates and measurement of building materials as per the standard method of measurement, preparation of tender documents, cost control, cost analysis, contract administration and management of building production in the construction industry. The requirements of digital construction under industry 4.0 is incorporated into to the syllabus, enabling the graduates to master various quantity surveying skills such as cost planning, cost control, building development techniques, building research, measurement software application, measurement of quantities of building and infrastructure work, and handling construction legal issues. Industrial-related projects are blended into the courses to provide direct industrial experience, aside from industrial visits and internships. This programme provides sound technological knowledge in the specialized field through state-of-the-art laboratories and modern simulation tools. This will train graduates to come up with creative and innovative solutions to digital construction problems. The industrial training module provides the opportunity for the students to experience real-world working environments. Other soft skills such as effective communication and presentation skills, entrepreneurial skills, professional ethics, safety, environment and sustainability skills, and project management skills, are developed through professional activities. Furthermore, this programme provides an excellent pathway for professional practice and recognition as a qualified professional Quantity Surveyor.
