    Building Surveying Help!!
    Ive just applied for a few uni's to do building surveying. These include reading, brighton, sheffield and southampton. All are bcs hons appart from southampton but i really want to there! It would be doin a HND in building surveying, i was wondering does anyone know if your still quite likely to be accepted into jobs with this degree and would it take longer to do an apc?? Also does anyone know the negatives and benifits of doing a Hnd instead of a bscs? PLeasee reply!!!

    you can still work as a building surveyor with a HND. you don't actually need a BSc but, doing a Bsc will allow you to do your apc and become chartered quicker.

    yes you can. you just have to go onto a degree course (the 3rd year) to complete a Bsc after your HND.

    Theres a guy called howard around here who is a building surveyer... he can give you more advice but i dont know where he is!
