Course Overview

The Real Estate with Foundation Year BSc is a comprehensive four-year programme designed for students who have the ambition to succeed in the property industry but may not meet the entry requirements for a standard three-year degree. The foundation year focuses on developing essential academic skills, including problem-solving, digital literacy, and communication, providing a supportive entry point into higher education. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, students progress into the three-year degree curriculum, where they gain expertise in areas such as valuation, planning, law, economics, and asset management. Located in the heart of London, the course offers unparalleled access to influential developers, consultancies, and industry professionals. Through site visits, guest lectures, and live projects, students develop the practical skills and professional mindset required to thrive in the built environment sector. This course is ideal for those looking to build a career in real estate, including mature students seeking to update their experience and qualifications.
