As the UK's cities and towns continue to expand, there is a growing demand for experts in property and real estate management. This course is designed to provide students with the practical skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in property investment, development, or related fields.
Students will gain expertise in various aspects of property management, including planning, construction, maintenance, and day-to-day operations of residential, industrial, and commercial properties. Key topics covered in the course include estate and property management, portfolio management, valuation for mortgages, negotiation strategies, and financial aspects of real estate projects.
Through collaborative projects with other students in the built environment field, students will develop professional relationships and gain a deeper understanding of the roles of various professionals in the real estate industry, such as bankers, accountants, developers, surveyors, and investors.
The course also offers the option to participate in a 'sandwich' year, which involves a year of paid work experience in the industry between the second and third year of study. This practical experience allows students to apply their knowledge in a professional setting, enhancing their CV and increasing their chances of securing a job after graduation. Students who choose the sandwich route often find it beneficial for both their academic studies and future career prospects.
