Overview
Chartered Surveyor roles are of prime importance for the construction industry, and are key in the successful delivery of projects.
Our Chartered Surveyor Apprenticeship will typically take five years to complete. The apprenticeship includes a BSc (Hons) degree qualification and, upon passing an End Point Assessment (EPA), registration as a chartered member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS).
The Chartered Surveyor apprenticeships have been designed by employer working groups of varying sizes, representing four surveying pathways. The apprenticeship is applicable to any of the following roles:
- Building Surveyors
- Commercial Property Surveyors (Real Estate)
- Consultant (Professional) Quantity Surveyors
- Contracting Quantity Surveyors
You will develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for chartered surveyors to work effectively within a range of working environments. We value the principles of learning by doing, drawing on a rich history of craft and manufacture in the city.
The assessment process has been designed to:
- Be relevant to the role of a chartered surveyor
- Provide a professional qualification
- Be widely recognised by the sector as a key route into the surveying profession

How to apply
You apply for a degree apprenticeship in the same way you apply for a normal job. You’ll need to submit an application to the recruiting employer.
Employers advertise degree apprenticeships throughout the year and there is no application cycle like there is with university applications. The vacancy will state when the application deadline is, and when the apprenticeship is due to start.
You cannot apply directly to the University for a degree apprenticeship. To be eligible for an apprenticeship, you first need to be employed as an apprentice in a suitable and relevant job. Your employer would then make contact with CEBEApprenticeships@bcu.ac.uk to start the onboarding process.
Find an Apprenticeship is the government website where the majority of apprenticeship vacancies are advertised. It only shows live jobs (so it won’t tell you previous vacancies, nor what’s coming up), so you will need to check it regularly to see new vacancies as the employers advertise them.
What is a degree apprenticeship?
Higher and degree apprenticeships are an exciting new way to gain a recognised qualification while working full-time and gaining experience in the workplace. These courses are a high-quality alternative to a traditional university degree, combining a university education with workplace experience.
See details of the relevant Apprenticeship standard.
Employers: For more information on offering apprenticeships, please see our employer apprenticeship guidance.
Fees
Course fees for apprenticeships are covered by contributions employers pay to the government levy, or by co-investment for non-levy paying employers.
Since you cannot be asked to pay towards your education, employers should ensure that they are able to cover expenses related to:
- IT (hardware and software)
- Consumables for printing, model making, portfolios and PPE
- Travel in relation to study visits associated directly with the programme
For further information please contact CEBEApprenticeships@bcu.ac.uk.
