RICS student membership was created to help support students who have enrolled on RICS accredited degree and diploma courses, to ensure that they realise their true potential and achieve the highest standards during their time at university.

We have also developed a rigorous and challenging professional training process – the APC – that is designed to ensure that graduates become useful and effective members of the profession once they leave university and join the world of work.

Many countries around the globe have adopted the RICS APC and it is widely seen as the 'Gold Standard' in postgraduate, professional qualifications in the world of surveying.

'RICS has influence on the content of my degree course to ensure it is both relevant and industry best practice. This will really help to prepare me for the working world once I graduate.'
