Throughout this degree, you will be involved in real-world projects, develop an understanding of the property sector as a whole, and acquire the skills to move into your preferred area of the industry. This course is divided into foundation studies in the first two years and specialist studies in the final year.

You’ll build a strong understanding of the core subject areas of economics, finance, business management, planning, law, and valuation, which you can then apply to more complex problems. You’ll then develop a deeper understanding in a specialist area, such as development and planning, investment and finance or appraisal and asset management.
