You will study with world-class academics and experienced practitioners in one of Australia’s most environmentally friendly buildings.

An Industry Placements Officer assists students in sourcing work experience and internship opportunities.

Professional Outcomes

Master of Building Surveying graduates will, with sufficient relevant experience, be able to practise as accredited building surveyors and certifiers. The program has been designed in consultation with the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS) to ensure that the material covered is appropriate for people engaged in this field. Through this consultation graduates are assured that their qualifications meet the requirements of the profession. Graduates of the Master of Building Surveying program will meet the requirements under the AIBS Framework for accreditation as a Building Surveyor. The Building Professionals Board of New South Wales (BPB) will recognise graduates of the Master of Building Surveying program as meeting the requirements of Levels A1, 2, 3 and 4 subject to ministerial approval. 

Bond University’s building surveying programs have been accredited by both the AIBS and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) thereby satisfying the educational requirements for accreditation at the level of Building Surveyor and Assistant Building Surveyor in Queensland. Upon gaining accreditation with the AIBS or RICS, graduates may be eligible for a licence as a building certifier with the Queensland Building Services Authority (BSA). When licensed, graduates may practise in Queensland as building certifiers for local government or as private certifiers.
