Key facts

Property is a high-demand finite resource that supports economic activity and influences the cost of goods and services. It forms the major asset value in corporate balance sheets, with most corporate debt secured against it. The challenge for the property practitioner is to provide spaces that efficiently meet organisational requirements. This requires a combination of legal, financial and engineering skills.

You can also specialise in corporate real estate and facilities management. You will get a strong understanding of the fundamentals, including introduction to property, business and property, applications of mathematics, statistics, law and planning.
