For our international pathway students, we’ve incorporated a 5 cities Asian studies tour into the course to expose them to key players in the international real estate business. Cities include Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul. And for both pathways there's a week-long European field trip which in the recent past has been to one of the three cities : Lisbon, Madrid or Barcelona. During these field trips, students benefit from site visits and engage in talks with leading industry figures and planning department officials.

The Real Estate Group, based within the School, is internationally recognised for its research excellence in this specialist field – and as such gives our students the great advantage of accessing a wealth of powerful data.
