Real estate sits at the intersection of finance, law, cities and construction. This MSc builds institutional-grade competence in market analysis, valuation, investment underwriting, asset management and development appraisal. You will model cash flows, assess risk, and understand leasing and ESG performance of buildings. Capstone work produces an investment memorandum suitable for a professional investment committee simulation.
Content references RICS-informed valuation standards and contemporary institutional investment practice. PropTech and net-zero buildings are integrated rather than treated as afterthoughts.
Faculty spotlight
Faculty with investment management and valuation consultancy backgrounds lead underwriting labs; sustainability faculty teach ESG and net-zero building performance.
