Graduate FAQ's

There is no academic minimum criteria to apply. You will need to be studying or have achieved an undergraduate degree as a minimum. You will simply need to show an enthusiasm and desire to work within property and for Gerald Eve. Work experience within the industry is advantageous, but we recognise you may not have had the opportunity to obtain this. We recommend using your cover letter and application questions to demonstrate your passion for the role.

The RICS stands for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and RTPI stands for the Royal Town Planning Institute. They each are the professional bodies for the real estate industry, in surveying and planning respectively. They each set the pathways and competency guides, and ultimately end point assessments, for which our graduates must follow in order to become Chartered. They also each maintain the professional standards across the UK and internationally.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept speculative CVs via email. For your application to be considered, please apply to a position directly via our Graduate website.

We appreciate everyone has different work or study commitments. We recommend you apply as soon as you are able to. We will review all applications submitted before the deadline.

No, we can only accept one application for each candidate. Please ensure you have researched the pathway most suited to you before applying.

You do not need an accredited degree to apply for the role. If you already have the accredited degree, you will be known as a cognate applicant meaning you can progress straight on to the APC (Assessment of Professional Competence); if you have a non-RICS or non-RTPI degree, you will be considered a non-cognate applicant and you will need to complete an accredited BSc or MSc alongside your APC. We will support you in doing this through utilising our apprenticeship levy and you will have one day a week for academic study.
