It is aimed at experienced professionals and those identified as future leaders in the real estate and associated industries and it combines academic rigour with significant industry input. The course aims to equip participants with a broad and deep knowledge of all aspects of the real estate industry, familiarise them with models and theories that help understanding of market behaviour, and develop insight into a range of long-term themes and strategic issues in the market while developing a range of research and other skills.

Entry requirements

Applicants should normally have a relevant UK first or good upper second-class honours degree or overseas equivalent. In addition, students joining the MSt course will typically have relevant industry or professional experience expected to be of a minimum of three years and, in some cases, a professional qualification in the discipline. They are therefore deemed to have achieved an acceptable level of knowledge and skills in order to meet entry requirements for the course. Those applicants who do not meet the standard entry criteria, but have alternative qualifications or experience and have the potential to bring valuable assets to the programme, will be evaluated on an individual basis and may be required to provide further materials in support of their application.
