Course summary

Our Real Estate course comprises the skills and knowledge requirements for a successful career in the professional property industry. The programme provides the tools to make key decisions in property finance and investment, asset management, valuation agency and development. By studying on an employer-focused course that is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), you will gain a detailed understanding of real estate, and learn with a team of industry and academic experts who are dedicated to both academic study and industry collaboration. You will become equipped with the attributes you need to be successful in the industry by contributing to market research for a real estate client, or undertaking valuable feasibility studies. Learn through real-life projects and scenario-based case studies. This course helps you to understand the complex world of property by studying management, technological, financial and legal issues so you can connect real estate theory with practice. Professional Placement Year This course offers a professional placement year. This allows you to spend a whole year with an employer, between the second and third years of your degree, and is a great way to find out more about your chosen career. Some students even return to the same employers after completing their studies. The University will draw on its extensive network of local, regional and national employers to support you in finding a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. If you do not find a suitable placement, you will be automatically transferred back to the standard, non-placement version of the course. Please note that fees are payable during your placement year.
