Quick answers

How do I become a surveyor in the UK?

Most surveyors take an RICS-accredited degree or master’s, or a surveying apprenticeship, then complete the APC to become a chartered surveyor (MRICS).

Do I need to be chartered to get a surveying job?

No. Many graduate and surveyor roles accept people working towards chartership; senior posts more often ask for MRICS.

How much does a surveyor earn?

It depends on the level of the role and the employer. See our salary guide.
