It was through this thatI became familiar with the concept of RICSand I was impressed with their professionalismand broad industry knowledge.

As a newcomer to the market, I was eager to gainrecognition from the market. A lot of suggestionsand ideas were offered by my colleagues andclients, the majority of whom were RICSprofessional members. Becoming one of themwas the natural step for me to take in order to gainthe reputation and recognition I wanted from thelocal property market.

After finishing the 2 year APC training program,I successfully passed my final interview andbecame a Chartered Surveyor in 2009. Professionalmembership provides me with a lot of useful andvaluable sources and networks throughout mydaily work and I am really proud of beinga member of RICS.”

DEGREES OF SUCCESS


According to many employers, one of the mainadvantages of RICS accredited degrees is that theyare highly vocational, with students learning aboutthe essential technical skills required to be aChartered Surveyor. With land and property projectsbased all over the world, courses may include a widevariety of field trips, visits to urban regenerationprojects, work on environmental sustainabilityschemes, to name a few, but all activities providean insight into the world of surveying.

A significant number of graduates on RICSaccredited courses find positions with majorsurveying companies and ‘Applications fromcandidates with an RICS accredited degree arewelcome’ is a common request in recruitmentadvertisements placed by these firms. But themain benefit for you of studying an RICSaccredited degree is that you're more likely to behired by these RICS member firms who selectgraduates on courses that match their ownbusiness activity.

Money mattersOnce qualified you can expect to increase yourearning potential which is a major advantage ofgaining chartered status.

According to the 2011 Macdonald and CompanySalary Survey the average salary of an RICStrainee is £32,734, which rises to £49,835 onceyou qualify as a full RICS member.

Choosing wellThe diversity of the surveying profession isreflected in the vast range of accredited courseson offer at universities across the globe, forinstance:

• MSc in Construction Law and DisputeResolution at Hong Kong Polytechnic University

• BSc Hons Quantity Surveying at GlasgowCaledonian University

• Master of Engineering (Geomatics) at theUniversity of Melbourne

• MSc Project Management at the Universityof Cape Town

• BSc Hons Building Surveying at Anglia RuskinUniversity

• MPhil Environmental Policy at the Universityof Cambridge

• MS Construction Management at New YorkUniversity

• Batchelor of Architectural Technology andConstruction at Copenhagen School ofDesign and Technology

• MBA International Real Estate at HochschuleBiberach, Germany.

But how do you make the right choice? Often thedegree course title hides the real scope of subjectscovered so it’s always worth looking more closelyat what’s included.

Most importantly, each accredited degree leadsto RICS membership and thereafter access toone or more of the RICS “Professional Groups.”The 17 professional groups embrace the widerange of specialisms covered by CharteredSurveyors, are international in their outlook andprovide information and support to workingsurveyors everywhere. Professional groupssupport members by:

• Providing choice for must-have professional,technical and decision support information,interpretation and application, plus postqualification education and standards

• Exploring training and developmentopportunities

• Building and maintaining relationships withother organisations and client groups

• Representing the expertise of the professionin the implementation of legislation, whileworking with our Public Affairs function toinfluence policy development

• Researching and promoting new and emergingareas of practice

• Developing APC and other professionalcompetencies

• Providing quality control over use of specialistchartered designations.

Masters degreesGraduates who have achieved a degree and aremoving into further study, or members currentlyin work who are re-engaging with academia, havea vast selection of postgraduate qualificationsto choose from. RICS also allows those studentsto start their APC – Assessment of ProfessionalCompetence structured training while undertakingpart-time or distance learning study.

In recent years, the number of graduates andprofessionals who have started RICS accreditedmasters courses has increased dramatically,even overtaking the number enrolling onundergraduate courses. This can be illustratedby data collected from our UK partneruniversities for the 2010/11 academic year – withover 4400 undertaking postgraduate degreesand over 3400 students enrolled on RICSaccredited undergraduate courses.

Getting an RICS accredited degree is the first step on the roadto becoming a Chartered Surveyor. The major employers havealways sought candidates with an appetite for the profession– and choosing an RICS accredited degree demonstrates yourcommitment to making it your career.

Quantifiable and measurable standards to meetthese principles have been developed in eachcountry that has adopted the university partnershipsmodel. In other parts of the world, a moretraditional, audit based approach to individualcourse accreditation continues.


PROFILE 03

RICS has devolved much of what was previouslycontrolled centrally to a series of individualpartnerships with selected universities meetingcertain rigorous selection criteria. In addition,individual courses are accredited following anequally rigorous process based on fivequality principles:

• Student selection• Research and innovation• Teaching quality• Curriculum• Graduate output.

In many parts of the world RICS has partnerships with aselection of higher education institutions that deliver RICSaccredited courses. This represents the coming together ofa university and RICS to establish common goals and thento work together to achieve those goals.

ACCREDITATION OF COURSESIN MY EXPERIENCE

“During my four-year business school course in Paris (EDCParis) I had the chance to do several work placements,during which I discovered my interest in the propertyprofession. Following my degree I decided to take aMasters specialising in Real Estate.

As I wanted to broaden my international experience,I chose to study in England, enrolling at Oxford BrookesUniversity. Oxford Brookes was recommended as one ofthe best universities for studying real estate in the UK, wasRICS accredited, and offered an international course.

It was a one-year full time course which covered differentaspects of property all over the world and due to thedifferent nationalities of the students we had the chance toshare our experiences of our home countries. In addition,we had the chance to have professional lecturers frommajor British companies, who provided us with theirknowledge of the property market in their specific field.

After passing my MSc, I was hired by Jones Lang LaSalle,one of the leading commercial real estate advisors in theworld. I started my career as an analyst in the FrenchCapital Market department and after two and a halfyears I decided to join the Valuation department, whereI am currently working for national and internationalclients. While studying for the APC I benefited from astructured and supportive support network at JonesLang LaSalle, and thanks to their knowledge andvaluable advice I successfully passed the final interviewand I am proud to have achieved RICS status this year.”
