You will benefit from the Department's strong links with industry and the surveying profession.\n\nThis programme is designed for international students. If you want to study building surveying at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Building Surveying with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate building surveying degree.\n\nYou will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BSc Building Surveying degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.\n\n98% of our students said teaching staff are good at explaining things (National Student Survey 2024, 97.75% of responders from the School of Construction Management and Engineering).\n\n**For more information, please visit the programme page:** https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/international-foundation-programme-ifp-ug/bsc-building-surveying-ifp-september",
