Overview
The course prepares students to understand investment vehicles, capital markets, financial management, and the underlying drivers of property values. Specialised subjects investigate the investment considerations associated with retail, office, and other commercial assets. Real estate investment trusts and funds management are covered in depth in separate subjects. Course development and curriculum design reflects the expertise of leading industry practitioners. Professionally focused assessments and workshops develop the skills needed to conduct the research and analysis that underpins developing a portfolio of real property assets with balanced risk, to interpret volatile national and global trends, and to evaluate the individual components of a property portfolio.
The majority of the subjects are offered in block mode, and include a mix of guest lectures from industry leaders, applied analytic workshops, and in-depth case study analysis. While the majority of subjects are based in the School of Built Environment, some are drawn from the School of Finance. Elective options are available to provide further technical and analytic skill development, and the opportunity to study property trends abroad.
