Details

The Bachelor of Science in Quantity Surveying at the University of Pretoria is a three-year degree that trains graduates in the measurement, costing, and financial management of construction projects — the financial management discipline of the built environment. Students develop expertise in construction economics, cost planning, contract administration, measurement, procurement, and project financial control, equipping them to manage the financial aspects of South Africa's major building and civil engineering projects. The programme qualifies graduates for professional registration with the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP), and graduates are in strong demand as South Africa invests in infrastructure, housing, and urban development. Quantity surveyors combine technical construction knowledge with financial and contractual expertise.

Admission requirements: English (Home or First Additional Language): Level 5 (60-69%); Mathematics: Level 5 (60-69%); APS: 30 (excluding Life Orientation).
