Graduate Diploma in Building Surveying

Western Sydney University

About

This postgraduate course has been designed primarily as a Distance Learning course.

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.

This course sets a pathway for further learning at the advanced Master level.
