Real estate has become a global market, with many organisations having interests throughout the world. This gives rise to a need for advisers with a clear understanding of the way in which real estate markets function and an ability to quickly analyse the systems and institutions that underpin a market. This one-year MSc, with Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) accreditation, recognises the need for new graduates with an international perspective and offers you invaluable overseas experience via mentor-supported placements. Key features of the Course * Case-study-based learning * A mentor-supported office placement in an overseas location * A rigorous and challenging course in real estate study, featuring 'work-based learning'. * All assessment is based on 'live case studies'. * Interaction with practitioners and academics with exceptional international experience. * A research enquiry-based dissertation to complete the study. You will spend the first two terms based on campus in Cirencester in full-time study. The third term will be spent on a work placement in an appropriate overseas location. Recent entry students, for instance, were engaged on a live structured case study in Hong Kong. You will also be required to submit a research dissertation, normally four months after the completion of the overseas case study.
