B.Sc. Quantity Surveying and Building Economics

Pentecost University offers a B.Sc. in Quantity Surveying and Building Economics through its Faculty of Engineering Science and Computing. This programme prepares students to manage the financial and contractual side of construction projects. Entry is less competitive, making it an accessible option for students from a range of SHS backgrounds.

What quantity surveying and building economics is about

Quantity surveying and building economics programmes usually focus on the financial and legal side of construction. You learn how to estimate costs, prepare bills of quantities, manage contracts, and handle procurement. The aim is to make sure building projects are completed on time and within budget. Most graduates go on to work as quantity surveyors, cost consultants, or contract managers for construction companies, consultancies, or public sector bodies.

How competitive the programme is

This degree is less competitive to get into than many other engineering and technology programmes. Pentecost University welcomes applicants from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds, which gives you a good chance if you have taken one of those routes. Because entry is less competitive, you are not competing with the very highest WASSCE aggregates. Check the specific subject requirements with the university admissions office to see if your grades qualify.
