CONSTRUCTION students and staff have welcomed the relocation of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) to the University campus.
The prestigious institution RICS has chosen the University of Salford as its North West HQ strengthening an already mutually beneficial relationship between the two organisations.
The University is one of the largest educators of Chartered Surveyors in the UK and the relocation will help support members – staff and student – through CPD and networking opportunities.
RICS supports 6,700 members across the region and works with businesses and government to ensure an expert voice is heard on a diverse range of issues, such as land, real estate, construction and infrastructure. RICS currently accredits the University of Salford’s School of the Built Environment degrees and degree apprenticeships, across land, property and construction.
