The Diploma in Building Surveying was a four year degree-level course run for twenty years by the Glasgow College of Building and Printing in North Hanover Street, Glasgow.[1] The course commenced in 1972, the same year as the College of Building and Printing was formed, and was the first Building Surveying qualification in Scotland and one of the very first in the UK. Building Surveying was then a new discipline within the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the course carried complete exemption from the RICS's professional examinations (Building Surveying Division)[2]. The course involved several areas of study including building and civil engineering, building maintenance, services, building design and conservation, structural design, Scots Law, planning and valuation, economics, professional practice, environmental science, computing and statistics and urban studies. [3] The course was led for many years by Harry Madden. In June 1992 the Diploma was course was reconfigured into the BSc (Hons) in Building Surveying, now run by Glasgow Caledonian University [4]. Holders of the Diploma use the post-nominal Dip.BS.
