International Real Estate and Planning MSc prepares you to build your career in real estate, planning and urban policy. This real estate and planning master's degree explores the relationship between real estate market and the planning systems around the world. You will study the systems through which real estate market operates and consider market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers and occupiers of the built environment and the relationships between markets and policy at various geographical levels.
The International Real Estate and Planning MSc is designed to equip you with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for careers in real estate fields such as property market analysis, property valuation, investment and development, as well as planning and urban policy. The degree explores the systems governing urban planning and the property market, including commercial real estate, residential market mechanisms, ownership frameworks, taxation and subsidies, land use, and planning policies. It examines market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers, and occupiers of buildings, and explores the interplay between markets and policies. Additionally, the degree offers insight into the variations across national boundaries, providing you with theoretical and practical knowledge applicable on an international scale.
An upper second-class honours Bachelor’s degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an ‘initial’ planning and real estate education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees. Applicants who do not hold an upper second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning real estate or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of 2:2 will be required).
