Course Description

Real estate professionals have an extensive understanding of the property industry, and confidently display their professional knowledge to clients. Develop these skills and prepare for a lucrative and rewarding career in this fast-paced sector with our BSc (Hons) Real Estate Development and Management with Foundation Year degree.

Covering a broad range of key industry areas, the course curriculum explores the processes involved in real-estate delivery, and the strategic management techniques used by professionals. Topics covered include valuation, planning processes, commercial building construction, development appraisals and feasibility studies.

Build in-demand professional knowledge and skills

This foundation year pathway is designed to give you a strong foundation in construction, surveying and design techniques, and the essential study skills so you are ready to progress. This pathway is an excellent route if you want to study the full honours degree, but don't meet the direct entry requirements. On successful completion of the foundation year, you will progress on to the full BSc (Hons) Real Estate Development and Management degree, which is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Across three further years of study - or four, if you choose to include an industry placement, you'll study essential modules in regulation, economics, principles of valuation and appreciation of technology. As you progress, you will expand your knowledge in property law, property asset management and urban regeneration, historic conservation and strategic asset management.

Delivered by industry-experienced tutors and practitioners, you'll be educated to the highest industry standards, studying a range of tailored, industry-shaped modules that will develop your professional, technical and interpersonal skill set. With a focus on your future employability, you will experience group projects that will build your confidence and capabilities in team working, problem-solving and communication - all desirable skills for real-world built environment careers.

Get closer to industry

Located at the heart of one of the largest property and construction markets outside of London, Salford is a great place to study real estate, with impressive development projects right on our doorstep. Delivered from our Peel park campus, minutes away from buzzing central Manchester, you’ll have opportunities to visit local construction projects, and receive industry guest lectures, building your professional connections and helping you to gain real-world context for your learning.

Once you join the BSc (Hons) pathway, you will also have the option to include an industry placement between years two and three, where you can develop additional professional and transferable skills, and make early career connections.
