What will I learn?

Educating future leaders of the real estate profession, our Master's in Finance and Real Estate bridges the gap between undergraduate studies and the workforce. With two leading industry qualifications built-in, it is a valuable asset that demonstrates to the industry that you adhere to the highest standards in the world.

Combining the study of two complementary subject areas with leading industry accreditations and professional training ensures our students graduate as industry-ready - and this qualification is highly sought-after by employers all over the world.

Designed to extend your capability and range in all financial aspects of real estate and property development , this Master's offers a particular focus on commercial property valuation and investment and the study of international real estate markets.

Several key strengths include: - your degree that is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). - your degree is recognised by the well-respected Investment Property Forum (IPF) to add further allure to your CV. - we support your understanding of finance in practice with access to a market-leading financial database.

During the year, the programme provides you with a deep understanding of the latest theoretical and numerical material: - how do developers decide what to build? - what is the role of the planning authority? - how do developers acquire the land? - how is the land value calculated? - what are the key factors – costs and revenues - that need to be controlled? - how do developers make their profit and when do they receive their profit?

In the summer term, in lieu of a dissertation, you can also choose to travel to Asia and study property investment and development case studies in several major cities. Location of case studies varies each year, with previous cohorts of students visiting real estate developments in Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing.
