Accreditations & Exemptions

For those interested in careers as a property surveyor, the course is accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Because of Land Economy’s unique range of subject areas, we offer a wide-ranging degree as well as the RICS accreditation. If you are interested in becoming a property surveyor, but would like to incorporate public policy, environmental law, and economics into your degree, Land Economy at Cambridge would be an excellent choice for you.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in law, you should know that graduates of our undergraduate degree are often granted partial exemption from the academic requirements of the Law Society and Bar Council, i.e. the Common Professional Examination (CPE). Exemptions depend on which subjects you study during your degree and are confirmed once your degree has been awarded. Completing certain papers may give you exemption from the CPE requirements of Public Law, Land Law, Contract, Tort and other areas of legal study. However, you would still be required to take Criminal Law, Law of the European Union and Equity and Trusts in a CPE or Postgraduate Diploma in Law course in order to complete the academic stage of training.
