Course Details

BSc Investment and Finance in Property

Course Description

If you are interested in managing property investments, working with or on behalf of major financial institutions, then this is the degree programme for you. It develops your understanding of property from an investment perspective by demonstrating how property can be compared to other forms of investment such as shares and gilts. You will develop strong financial expertise which will enable you to work not only in the property sector but also in a wider financial role. This programme builds on the BSc Real Estate programme with foundation studies (the first two years) being shared. In the final year your modules are focused on investment and finance subjects but, like all degrees in the field, addressing both the theoretical and practical aspects of the property market. Again, you will undertake a number of applied investment and finance projects to develop analytical and key employment skills. This course has received a full accreditation from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RISC).
