Overview

This International Real Estate and Planning programme from UCL studies how real estate markets operate and explore market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers and occupiers.

The degree explores the systems that govern urban planning and the property market, including commercial real estate, residential market mechanisms, ownership frameworks, taxation and subsidies, land use, and planning policies.

It examines market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers, and occupiers of buildings, and explores the interplay between markets and policies. Additionally, the degree offers insight into the variations across national boundaries, providing you with theoretical and practical knowledge applicable on an international scale.

Employability

This degree prepares you both theoretically and practically to practise across international boundaries in the fields of urban policy, real estate market analysis and property valuation, investment and development. You develop the necessary skills, knowledge and aptitudes to become a creative, problem-solving professional and to co-operate and engage creatively with others as both a team member and team leader.

Graduates are also equipped to engage in research, policy and regulatory activities relating to the field. Many pursue careers as commercial real estate surveyors or planning consultants.

Accreditation

The Master's programme is fully accredited by both RTPI and RICS

Other requirements

General requirements

An upper second-class honours Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an 'initial' planning and real estate education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees.

Applicants who do not hold an upper second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning real estate or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of 2:2 will be required).

The English language level for this programme is: Level 2
