Real Estate & Regeneration

Optional Courses

Students on the MSc in Real Estate & Regeneration are required to take the following 60 credits of specialist courses:

• Real Estate Valuation and Appraisal equips students with the mathematical principles underpinning real estate valuation and appraisal, and enable them to use a selection of traditional and contemporary techniques based on mathematical formulae to value land and buildings.
• Advanced Real Estate Valuation and Appraisal directly builds on the valuation and appraisal knowledge and skills students developed in Real Estate Valuation and Appraisal, and develops their skills when applied to the more complex situations that valuation surveyors commonly experience.
• Real Estate Finance & Investment explores the risk and return characteristics of direct and securitised real estate, draws comparison with the investment characteristics of other asset classes and examines the role of real estate in a mixed asset portfolio.
• Real Estate Markets investigates the determinants of real estate values by  enabling students to visualise real estate as a series of linked markets and submarkets, which themselves relate to, and reflect, broader economic, social and political forces.
• Regenerating Cities  is a 20 credits course that provides an overview of the development, delivery and impact of regeneration strategies. It explores the challenges of achieving effective regeneration in UK cities in the context of global change and competition, while also considering experiences in North American and Europe.
