U21 & RICS Travel Scheme

An opportunity for students studying property and construction to travel to other U21 institutions has been introduced by the Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and Universitas 21.

The travel scheme, entitled “Explore: Achieve”, offers students the chance to study at other Universitas 21 institutions across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Students gain both vital international expertise in this globally competitive business and also a welcome boost in appeal to future employers on graduation. Students may spend up to a year studying at another university and their study remains recognised by RICS for professional qualification. There are opportunities for students to bid for funding towards travel too
