Real Estate (with Foundation Year) BSc(Hons) at University of West of England

The world of real estate is exciting, fast-paced and rewarding.

There will always be a market for property, so a role in the development, valuation or management of the built environment entails job security as well as earning potential. Most large organisations today have property management teams, while residential properties have increasingly diverse managerial arrangements.

If the idea of a traditional desk-based job doesn't appeal, a career in real estate could offer you the variety and independence you're looking for.

Learn about buying and selling, valuations, resolving landlord and tenant disputes, negotiating compensation and day-to-day management.

Address sustainability issues and develop a site with students from different degrees in a way that reflects industry.

Examine legal and economic forces and their impact on planning practice. Value property for different purposes and learn about property law. Explore commercial agency and the international environment for property management.
