Upon completing the Higher Diploma in Surveying, I enrolled the joint part-time Bachelor's Degree programme offered by SHAPE in collaboration with UK universities. This articulation programme can be completed in as little as 2 years, allowing students to enter the workforce sooner and gain practical experience. The programmes have effectively equipped me with the professional knowledge in surveying and construction, laying a solid foundation for my future entry into the surveying industry. These programmes are well-regarded in the industry, and graduates have the opportunity to apply to various surveying consultancy firms or main contractors according to their preferences. Moreover, these programmes are recognised by local universities, offering me the chance to pursue a Master's Degree locally and potentially obtain the qualification of a registered Quantity Surveyor in the local context, as well as membership in other professional associations.
