Harper Adams University - Prospectus 2024

Most people know what a solicitor, a doctor or an accountant does - but what does a Chartered Surveyor do? Chartered Surveyors are experts in land and property. Property is the biggest investment that anyone will make in their lifetime. For businesses, their biggest assets by far are the land and property they own or control. So it makes sense to have professional advice on how to manage those assets – and that’s where a Chartered Surveyor comes in. To become a Chartered Surveyor, you must pass The Assessment of Professional Competence (APC), which ensures that candidates are competent and meet the high standards of professionalism required to become a chartered surveyor. The APC covers technical and professional practice, interpersonal, business and management skills. Rural Enterprise and Land Management - accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for the Rural Surveying Pathway* Rural Property Management - accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for the Rural Surveying Pathway.* Rural Chartered Surveyor Degree Apprenticeship - accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for the Rural Surveying Pathway.* *Routes are subject to reaccreditation. An accredited degree course is one which has been approved by a professional body, is a marker of quality and provides a graduate with professional accreditation or supports a graduate in becoming professionally accredited which is recognised by employers. Once a university degree course is validated or re-validated, the University undertakes a process to review and check accreditation or re-accreditation of university programmes to ensure alignment with delivery, relevance and associated academic standards. Accreditation or re-accreditation cannot be guaranteed, if accreditation is approved as planned or if there are substantive changes or a delay, the university will communicate with applicants. The course will still run without accreditation, if an applicant does not wish to continue with the course with no accreditation, assistance will be provided to change course or to find a suitable alternative.
