Real Estate and Property Management
Real estate and property management is the professional discipline concerned with the development, valuation, investment, and management of land and buildings. Property is one of the largest asset classes in the world, and the professionals who advise on it, manage it, and develop it occupy some of the most commercially important roles in the built environment sector. The discipline combines technical knowledge of property markets and valuation with the negotiation, communication, and business planning skills that transactions and management relationships require.
This three-year full-time degree at Coventry University builds industry-relevant skills in communication, negotiation, and business planning for both domestic and international real estate markets. You will study property valuation, investment analysis, property law, planning, building technology, facilities management, and the economics of real estate markets. The programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement activity, giving you substantial professional experience and international exposure before you complete the degree.
The combination of placement experience and real estate knowledge makes graduates genuinely ready for the industry on graduation. The typical entry tariff of 104 points reflects an accessible entry point to a commercially rewarding professional discipline.
Graduates are well placed for careers as property managers, real estate advisers, commercial agents, residential surveyors, facilities managers, developers, and real estate consultants. Many pursue RICS membership, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors qualification that is the international mark of professional competence in property. The combination of a sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement that this programme provides is a strong preparation for a profession that values both practical experience and international awareness.
Postgraduate study in real estate, property development, or urban planning is available for those who wish to specialise further.
