Professional recognition
This course is fully recognised by the Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors and graduates can apply for probationer
membership of the RICS.
The course has been designed to produce graduates with a sound
understanding of the process of urban change and development and a
detailed knowledge of the individual physical, social, economic,
administrative and legal aspects of that process.
Course content
The course is structured so that you will learn to
appreciate the inter-relationships and multi-disciplinary nature of
the built environment.
The academic discipline of the course will equip you with an
understanding of the nature and philosophy of the urban estate
management process, and will develop the skills required to
appraise and formulate proposals for the development and
improvement of the physical environment. Property development and
investment are focused upon at Credit Level 6 as many of our
graduates are subsequently employed in such work.
Associated careers
The course prepares you for a professional career in estate
management as a surveyor and valuer, with particular emphasis on
property investment and development. Following graduation, you can
also gain entry to specialist postgraduate courses, research or
other non-specialist areas.
Teaching and assessment
The wide variety of teaching and learning methods include
lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, individual and group
projects, and guided reading. Studies are related to real world
situations wherever appropriate. Assessment is designed to monitor
your progress throughout the course rather than your performance at
specified stages. A variety of assessment methods are used to
ensure that the assessment of each module is appropriate to its
teaching methods.
Entry requirements
A minimum of 280 UCAS tariff points is required (see UG prospectus) including three
Cs at A2/ Vocational A levels; or equivalent qualifications.
