But if you would like to attend university and are unsure which ones are the best for quantity surveying, look no further. In this post, we’ll be looking at the UK’s top 5 Quantity Surveying universities based on metrics from the Complete University Guide. They gather information such as student satisfaction, research quality, entry standards, and graduate prospects.
How are the universities ranked?
Student satisfaction is measured by an anonymous submission based on the quality of teaching the students receive. Research quality is a measure of the quality of research undertaken by the university. Entry standards is the average UCAS tariff score of new students entering the university, and graduate prospects are a measurement of the percentage of students who successfully obtain a job after leaving university.
