A Virtual Seminar in Surveying & Construction Management by Aston University Birmingham

A Virtual Seminar in Surveying & Construction Management by Aston University Birmingham

Type: Virtual Seminar
Target: F.4 or Above (Seminar)
Location: British United / Join from Home

Architects, Surveyors and Engineers are three key pillars of any large-scale construction projects. While surveyors analyze the use of land, deal with valuation and cost control, architects develop concepts, create meaningful use of space and the design in and out of the building. Engineers are involved to oversee the building processes, ensuring it’s proceeding in a safe and smooth manner. Of course, this is just a highly simplified description. In reality, there are different divisions and working groups under each profession, with each focusing on different aspects of the process!

In this seminar, two Senior Lecturers from School of Engineering & Technology, Aston University, Birmingham will focus on Surveying and Construction Management, providing an overview of surveyor’s key roles in typical work settings, professional qualifications, common teaching content, entry requirements and more, to help students select the right programme for themselves!

How to Become a Surveyor? Understanding Different Surveying Divisions

🔔 Study + Professional Training: 5 Years

There are different divisions within the professional qualification framework in both Hong Kong and the UK, in which Building Surveying and Quantity Surveying are the two largest divisions. Other than that, Construction Management is another related disciplines that students usually consider alongside. What exactly do these different surveyors do? How would your choice of academic programmes and electives set you on course to a particular specialism? Is it possible, if you’d like to switch to another division, later in your study or after graduation?

BSc (Hons)

3 Year

Students who would like to eventually become a professional surveyor in Hong Kong must complete a Surveying qualification accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) or Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES), to satisfy the academic requirements set by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS) and the Surveyors Registration Board.

Professional Training

2 Years

Students can apply to HKIS as a Probationer right after graduation to proceed with their professional training. With a minimum of two years of professional training and passing the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC), students can become a Member of HKIS (MHKIS) and practise as a professional surveyor.
