When it comes to RICs pathways, you've got a few options to consider depending on what you want to do.
A good place to start would be to check out the RICs pathways page for more information on the specific competencies needed for each sector! Just make sure to read everything carefully because some pathways require a different RICs accreditation that we don't offer at UoS.
There's also a page called "How to become a surveyor" which talks about surveying as a career, and the different ways you can enter the profession.
If you have any more questions about career options, don't hesitate to reach out to us at or get in touch to set up an in-person chat.
See the slides from our recent session with Lauren Clay! Lauren became MRICs qualified in October 2019, is a registered RICS valuer, and is currently the Chair of Sheffield RICS Matrics.
During the session, you’ll learn about:
Information on RICS membership, including how to become a student member and eventually an MRICS, along with the benefits that come with it.
An overview of the APC process, including how it connects to the courses here, what the process entails, and why it’s important.
General tips and advice for students, plus a chance to learn more about RICS Matrics.
