Estate Management, BSc Hons

The management of any property or property portfolio involves many specialist activities, ranging from negotiating the sale or purchase of property to advising on all forms of development. Estate management combines legal, technical, economic, financial and managerial knowledge. The programme reflects this diversity, focusing particularly on appraisal, financing and valuation of property investments. There are lectures and studio work (on an individual and group basis), together with workshops, seminars and site visits. Students work closely with building surveying, quantity surveying and architecture students.
