What is real estate?
Developing, redeveloping, refurbishing and investing in real estate are integral parts of the economy, and contribute to the sustainable development of society and the built environment.

This course

Get a head start in a career in the commercial real estate industry in the UK and overseas, on this professionally focused course. You develop the knowledge and skills to value, plan and develop, manage, acquire and dispose of real estate for occupiers and investment clients, in public and private organisations.

You train as a property professional to view real estate as a business medium, and to understand how and where it fits into the business world. By examining the legal and professional background in which the general practice surveyor works, you gain a broad understanding of • real estate valuation • asset management • economics • sustainable planning and development • building technology • law • marketing.

Once you have a firm grasp of the technical aspects of real estate surveying, you learn how to put it into practice appraising development proposals and advising on investment in real estate.

The course prepares you for interdisciplinary teamwork in professional practice through a series of collaborative projects, where you work alongside students studying on related courses such as quantity surveying, building surveying and construction project management. You learn how different professions view the built environment and the importance of finding common ground.

You are taught by lecturers who have professional experience of working as chartered surveyors, planners, lawyers or engineers, and who understand the reality of professional practice. You learn in our state of the art teaching facilities, and also out in the built environment itself. You test out your classroom learning in real buildings and real places.

In your third year you have the chance to put your professional skills to work with a placement at one of the major national or regional offices of surveying practices, developers or asset managers.

Your placement year can usually contribute 200 days towards your professional experience requirement for your Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Assessment of Professional Competence.

You also have the chance to develop your international perspective of real estate and enhance your employability globally by studying abroad during your second semester of your second year through our ERASMUS partnerships.
