RICS, put simply, is the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It’s the pre-eminent organisation of its kind in the world. And as such it represents everything that’s good in the property profession.

We support and represent 120 000 members around the world, who offer the very best advice on a surprisingly wide range of land, property and construction related issues. These members are involved in everything from major construction projects to protecting the environment, from surveying the seabed to valuing antiques and fine art. RICS also provides impartial advice to society in general, businesses, governments and global organisations.

We are a non-profit making organisation, originally formed by Royal Charter, and we provide our members with a wealth of practical assistance, information, training and logistical back up.

We have created and developed a wide range of degree and diploma level courses for those of you who wish to become surveyors. And many of these courses have been adopted in countries all around the globe and are seen as the ‘Gold Standard’ in the world of surveying.
