Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Real Estate and Property Management

The paradigm shift in commercial properties coupled with the urban migration-driven housing sector challenges offers a lucrative career option in the provision of land and accommodation. The course will develop students' understanding of the differences in these roles and help them shape their own desired career path. The course includes modules on commercial and corporate real estate management specifically linked to Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) competencies. With a focus on their future employability, students will have several opportunities to accelerate their professional development. In their first year, students have the option to undertake a Computer Aided Design (CAD) assessment (at no extra cost, application required) and, if successful, will receive industry recognised Autodesk certification. Then, in their second year, students will have the opportunity to undertake a Building Research Establishment Energy Assessment Method (BREEAM), which, on successful completion, enables them to become certified as an Accredited Graduate (BREEAM AG) (at no extra cost, application required). BREEAM is widely acknowledged as the leading environmental assessment method – which sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation. It has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised measures of environmental performance of buildings.
