The course is aligned with the academic requirements of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

If you take the Study Abroad option you will spend a semester at one of these partners, continuing your studies in English but in a new culture and learning environment.
