“I would recommend the QS programme in LIT over anywhere else mainly
due to the standard of teaching, merit & relevance of module content
together with the 3rd year placement year which I found to be of huge
benefit to me both in terms of self confidence and technical awareness.
Now that I am an Employer I always look first to LIT for both year out
placement & graduate quantity surveyors.”
