SEGi University recently celebrated a significant milestone with the re-accreditation of its Quantity Surveying programme by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This achievement underscores SEGi’s unwavering commitment to delivering education of the highest standards, closely aligned with industry requirements. The accreditation panel, comprising Nick Inatey, Amrit Sagoo, Richard Alder, and Nera Valentina, conducted a thorough evaluation of the programme’s curriculum, teaching methods, faculty credentials, and student outcomes.
The RICS panel’s extensive review included an examination of course content, assessment techniques, and the programme’s alignment with industry standards. They engaged with faculty members, students, and alumni to collect feedback and insights, and assessed the facilities, including classrooms and laboratories, to ensure they met current educational needs and industry expectations. The panel’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive, praising the robustness of SEGi’s curriculum, which integrates modern industry practices and technological advancements.
Key highlights from the panel’s commendations included SEGi’s strong emphasis on sustainability, digital construction, and cost management—crucial areas in contemporary quantity surveying. The faculty’s expertise and dedication to continuous professional development were also noted as significant strengths, ensuring that students receive education that is both current and relevant.
In addition to the positive feedback, the panel provided constructive recommendations to further enhance the programme. They suggested expanding industry partnerships to offer more practical training opportunities for students, including internships, site visits, and collaborative projects. Furthermore, they recommended increasing the use of advanced simulation tools and software in teaching to better prepare students for real-world applications.
SEGi has developed an action plan to address these recommendations, which includes establishing new industry collaborations, enhancing the use of technology in the classroom, and offering additional professional development opportunities for faculty. This proactive response demonstrates SEGi’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in education.
The RICS re-accreditation process has reaffirmed the strengths of SEGi’s Quantity Surveying programme and identified valuable areas for growth. SEGi remains dedicated to implementing the panel’s recommendations, ensuring the delivery of high-quality education that prepares students to excel in their profession. This re-accreditation not only validates SEGi’s efforts but also motivates the institution to pursue ongoing excellence and innovation in its educational offerings.
