Would you relish the challenge of meeting the building demands of the future city? Could you tackle the development concerns of rapidly urbanising locations in Asia, Africa, and South America? Would you revel in the opportunity of investing and valuing property all over the world? Are you ready to use your resourcefulness to help landlords and occupiers reimagine their properties in response to the challenges of Covid and the new world of work? If you enjoy using creativity to solve complex problems then this course is for you. No matter what your background, we can help you graduate with a high earning career in international real-estate and the built environment.

During the course you will work with world leading researchers, practitioners and professional bodies to develop the skills needed to acquire, develop, manage, adapt, value and dispose of property and land. You will be equipped with the most up to date industry knowledge, essential for your career.
