Imagine having the superpower to look at a massive skyscraper, a complex railway system, or a sprawling airport and know exactly how much it will cost to build. That’s Quantity Survey for you.
In a recent “Degree Unboxing” episode by Uni Enrol, host Angel Lim visited the state-of-the-art University of Reading Malaysia campus to meet someone who possesses this exact ability! She sat down with Sr. Dr Noor Azeyah Dato’ Khiyon, Head of the Built Environment, to explore the highly sought-after University of Reading Malaysia Quantity Survey program.
If you are hunting for the perfect Quantity Survey course in Malaysia, here is the inside scoop on why this program is turning students into modern industry superheroes, only at Persiaran Graduan, Kota Ilmu, EduCity, 79200 Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia.
💻 Inside the Cutting-Edge BIM Lounge
To train modern construction financial experts, the University of Reading, Malaysia, provides a truly high-tech playground. Dr Noor Azeyah took Angel on a tour of the university’s impressive BIM (Building Information Modelling) Lounge.
Because the industry is rapidly digitising, students are fully trained on cutting-edge software like Autodesk Revit, CostX, Glodon, and Solibri. To make the learning experience even more immersive, the facilities are equipped with 3D Laser Scanners and 3D Printers, ensuring graduates are completely fluent in the tech of tomorrow.
🎓 3 Disciplines in 1 Versatile Degree
When you study Quantity Survey at the University of Reading Malaysia, you learn far more than just basic estimating, budgeting, and costing.
Unlike other institutions that lock you into a single track from day one, UoRM offers an incredibly versatile curriculum. During the first two years of the degree, students learn comprehensively across three distinct disciplines:
- Construction Management
- Building Surveying
- Quantity Surveying
By the time students reach Year 3, they have a massive wealth of foundational knowledge and get to confidently choose their specific career specialization, whether that is becoming a Quantity Surveyor, a Contract Manager, or a Procurement Manager. It is an amazing value for your educational investment!

🌍 The “Quad-Accredited” Global Passport
One of the most impressive features of this degree is its global recognition. The program holds a rare “quad-accreditation” from four major professional bodies:
- RICS: Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors UK
- CIOB: Chartered Institute of Building
- BQSM: Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia
- PAQS: Pacific Association of Quantity Surveyors
Because of the PAQS accreditation, this degree acts as a global passport. Graduates are professionally recognised to work in 15 different countries, including Australia, Singapore, and even South Korea!
📈 100% Employability and a Massive Talent Shortage
Is there actually a demand for Quantity Surveyors? Dr Noor Azeyah revealed some mind-blowing statistics to put the job market into perspective.
If you look at the number of Quantity Surveyors per capita around the world, the numbers tell a clear story:
- UK: 1052 Quantity Surveyors per 1 million people.
- Singapore: 280 Quantity Surveyors per 1 million people.
- Malaysia: Only 52 Quantity Surveyors per 1 million people!
There is a severe shortage of these professionals both in Malaysia and globally, with job portals frequently posting over 1,000 job advertisements a day. Because of this massive demand and the university’s elite UK-ranked curriculum, UoRM has proudly maintained a 100% graduate employability rate since 2015, with students securing jobs within six months of graduation.
