This competition aims to give an exposure and training to all the Built Environment (BE) undergraduates in presenting and showcasing their research studies. Their research studies will be based on the final academic project (thesis) of the BE programme. The presenters will be presenting their research background and findings based on their respective theses. This competition adheres to the core elements in BE which are building control, building surveying, architecture, planning, facilities management, real estate, engineering management as well as construction management.

The 2nd International BEURC will be opened to both local universities offering BE programme, such as Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Shah Alam, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Perak, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Penang as well as international universities. Potential participation from international level would be from Building Surveying students of Faculty of Built Environment, Liverpool John Moores University.
