POSSIBLE ROUTES TO RICS MEMBERSHIP

> For Real Estate and Sustainable Development Chair students:

The Real Estate and Sustainable Development Chair is one of the few programs of excellence in France to hold RICS accreditation. The «Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors» (RICS) is a leading international professional organization. It guarantees excellence and integrity within the real estate, construction, and infrastructure sectors. It enjoys a global reputation for defining the ethical and technical standards adopted by the market’s major players. Students from the Grande École program who complete the Chair’s curriculum benefit from streamlined access to this professional network. In fact, validating the Chair exempts them from the 5 to 10 years of professional experience normally required to begin the membership process. In conclusion, this recognition acts as a true career accelerator for all students pursuing a future in the real estate industry.

> For Real Estate professionals:

There are three other routes to membership for professionals who weren't student on a RICS accredited course and who have 10 years' relevant experience : Adaptation route for professionals who have graduated from a non-accredited degree or have an RICS approved professional qualification, the Senior Professional route for experienced professionals who are in a senior industry position and have one or more university degrees and the Academic route for academics teaching or researching on an RICS accredited degree.

They qualify as MRICS after passing the RICS Final Assessment process. Once they can show the highest level of accomplishment and have made significant contributions to RICS or the profession in general, they may apply for fellowship (FRICS).
