One of the most common ways in pursuing a career in Quantity Surveying is by studying and obtaining a degree at university. Now we understand a lot of you have either finished your studies or are currently entangled in them. Hopefully a little less entangled with the help of our videos and posts. But if you want to attend university and are unsure which ones are the best for Quantity Surveying, look no further.
In this week’s post, we will be looking at the UK’s top 10 Quantity Surveying universities based on metrics from the complete university guide. Here they gather information such as student satisfaction, research quality, research intensity, and graduate prospects.
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
Research intensity is a measure of the proportion of staff involved in high-quality research in the university
Graduate prospects is a measurement of the percentage of students that successfully obtain a job after leaving university
