The degree programmes offered through the Business School are designed to be flexible. Specialise in one area, explore new subjects, or study multiple disciplines to attain a degree that suits your interests and career aspirations. Studying Real Estate at Aberdeen provides you with a deep understanding of how real estate markets operate, throughout the UK and internationally. You will visit sites and companies in Scotland and enjoy a fieldtrip to London as an integral part of your studies. As part of the Business School, we focus on understanding real estate from a finance and investment perspective together with the role of real estate in business generally. We are concerned with how to create value in property and manage it responsibly. Real estate forms nearly 70% of the global asset wealth and is responsible for 40% of global energy use and so is important to everyone. You will be taught by internationally recognised researchers, working on current challenges in property markets, and by experts in professional practice. The University of Aberdeen has been ranked 3rd in the UK, 6th in Europe and 26th in the world for its real estate research (EduRank 2025)
