Real Estate

About this programme

Real Estate is ranked 13th in the Guardian Construction, Surveying and Planning subject league ranking 2025. You’ll experience field trips to exciting sites where you can work on a project and gain insight from the professionals working there. We bring in alumni and other professionals for guest talks and panel debates, so you’ll always be on top of the latest developments. Many staff are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and have previously been in practice. Our university-wide language programme is available to full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students on many of our courses, and can be taken as a credit on some courses. You may be able to go on a European or international study exchange while you are at Brookes. Most exchanges take place in the second year. Although we will help as much as we can with your plans, ultimately you are responsible for organising and funding this study abroad. You’ll start the course studying core subjects like valuation, planning and development, law, and property management. We’ll build up your knowledge of these subjects throughout the course and your lessons will get more advanced as you progress. Your second year includes more specialist modules like Landlord and Tenant Law. By Year 3, you’ll have a strong understanding of a wide range of topics. Your dissertation in Year 3 is your chance to research a subject that you’re interested in and apply the skills you’ve learned throughout the course. Your third year also includes optional modules so you can specialise in an area that appeals to you. It
