Master of Building Surveying

Western Sydney University

About

This course is primarily a Distance Learning course however there are some compulsory workshops.

However, a select unit (one in total) has a five day intensive block style compulsory workshop that requires students to attend.

This workshop will include fieldwork, site visits or industry tours.

Many of the other units have non-compulsory workshops and students are encouraged to attend these workshops to gain the benefit of the face to face interaction within the course.Accreditation The course is recognised by NSW Building Professionals Board (BPB) and has full accreditation with the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS).

This course allows students currently accredited as building surveyors to progress to A2 and A1 professionals under the Building Professions Act.
