RICS member app updated to include Modus and Journals

01 July 2026

Following the launch of the new RICS member app, a new app update now allows access to Modus and Journals articles.

This will make it easier for members to explore professional insights and industry updates from Modus and RICS Journals on the go. Members can now browse curated articles from both publications, bookmark content for offline reading, and log read articles as unstructured CPD activity directly within the app.

Modus is RICS’ external publication, which aims to inspire and inform built environment professionals globally from the start of their careers to retirement. New content is published weekly discussing and dissecting the industry’s biggest topics.

Journals provides sector-specific content tailored to the needs of RICS chartered surveyors and candidates. It offers technical updates, best practice and guidance for professionals across the built and natural environments.

This is just the latest part of RICS’ ongoing work to enhance and evolve member experience through the mobile app. The app allows members to:

easily access the tools needed to manage professional obligations, such as your digital membership card
track and log CPD, meaning you can stay organised and compliant wherever you are
receive notifications about upcoming CPD deadlines
keep your professional profile and contact details up to date.
