Re-accreditation of the BQS (Hons) degree at IIUM by the Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia

Salam and dear all,

1. I would like to congratulate the Department of Quantity Surveying, International Islamic University Malaysia for the successful re-accreditation of their BQS (Hons) degree program by the Board of Quantity Surveyors Malaysia (pending written confirmation by the Board).
2. The re-accreditation exercise, involving submission of various documents on the program (program structure, course outlines and other academic and administrative matters, staff, students, teaching and learning facilities, etc) reached its apex when three representatives from the Board visited IIUM on 18th May 2010. During the visit the representatives were given a briefing about the department, the faculty and IIUM, the BQS (Hons) program, etc; and they visited / viewed the various teaching and learning facilities; interviewed students, talked to staff; and inspected students' works, etc.
3. The re-accreditation is for the period up to 2012.
4. The BQS (Hons) program was first accredited in 2004.
5. Quantity Surveying, as a profession, is governed by an Act of Parliament, i.e. Registration of Quantity Surveyors Act 1967, Act 487 (Revised 1992). For more on the Act and on the BQSM visit http://www.bqsm.gov.my.

Wassalam.
