Overview
The need for quantity surveyors is vital for the efficient financial management of construction projects. As a
partner university of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the School is instrumental in meeting
the educational needs of quantity surveying graduates by building on their previous education and
experience to prepare them for the demands of this profession.

There is consistent competition amongst those wishing to enter and develop a career in quantity surveying in
order to gain an internationally recognised postgraduate qualification, such as the MSc from Heriot-Watt
University. Successful completion of the programme develops the necessary skills to provide a quality
benchmark recognised by prospective employers to enhance an individual’s career progression.
