Property plays a key role in business and investment and there is a need to maximize both the return from and productivity of real estate assets. This requires professional expertise.

Within the residential sector, the private rented sector alone has a value of آ£1000 billion. These real estate assets all require on-going strategic and active management including appraisal, acquisition and disposal

Graduate prospects are good and recent graduates have gone on to work for the likes of: Ryden, Savills, Shepherd Surveyors, DM Hall, Cushman and Wakefield, Montagu Evans, Valuation Office Agency, Lothian Valuation Joint Board, and Taylor Wimpey Homes.
