Higher Diploma in Quantity Surveying

The Higher Diploma in Quantity Surveying offers a solid foundation in the technical, economic and legal aspects of the construction industry. Key modules such as Construction Technology, Digital Built Environment and Construction Contract Practice equip students with essential skills in cost estimation, procurement and contract management. Measurement and Design Economics deepen knowledge of project costing and value analysis. A Multidisciplinary Project provides practical experience, applying theoretical learning to client based scenarios. Diplomates will be well-prepared for a wide range of career opportunities in the construction and built environment sectors.

The HD suite of programmes at ICBT provides an excellent example of widening participation in a country where there is not enough University supply to fill the demand for higher education. Students can enter the HD programmes after studying for 13 years in the formal education sector through either having studied for Advanced Levels, or having undertaken the Foundation programme after studying for Ordinary levels. Other level 3 qualifications will also be considered for suitability for entry to the programmes. For the engineering programmes, students must have studied maths, biosciences and/or technology whereas for Quantity Surveying, any subjects will suffice. Students have been entering these programmes with these qualifications for many years and have been successful in achieving the qualifications.
