There is a wide range of Pathways available to qualify as an RICS member covering 19 different areas of practice, at APC (Chartered), and at ATC (Technical) level.
For the Land group the Pathways are:
| Environment |
|
Every chartered surveyor must consider the environmental factors within the parameters of their profession.
Environmental surveyors are specialists in all aspects of the management, monitoring and assessment of the environment in the context of real estate, land and construction. |
| Geomatics |
|
Geomatics is the science and study of spatially-related information focusing on the collection, interpretation/analysis and presentation of the natural, built, social and economic environments.
As the underpinning information provider of the land and property life cycle, geomatics is of fundamental importance to society. |
| |
| Minerals and Waste Management |
|
Minerals are the raw materials needed to supply the construction and manufacturing industries and provide fuel for the world's energy requirements. A consumer-led society needs careful waste disposal and management.
Extracting minerals and managing waste requires sensitive planning from the initial prospecting stage to the ultimate restoration and after-use of each site. |
| |
|
Planning and Development |
| The planning and development field is a specialist area, which impacts not only on the physical aspects of the built environment, but the social and environmental aspects as well.
The profession is continually evolving with a wide range of environmental, economic, political and social relevance to its day-to-day activities. |
| |
| Rural |
|
Rural surveyors enable the rural economy and environment to thrive and flourish in a variety of ways by virtue of their experience and expertise across a very broad and diverse range of activities.
The work of a rural surveyor draws on a wide range of professional and technical skills and knowledge in key areas including agriculture, management of the natural environment and landscape, property management and valuation. |
