‘ One of the unique things about my course compared to other universities is the fact that it is RICS accredited , which was surprisingly rare when I was looking at ‘ Property Development ’ courses . This means it opens more doors in the future for me , as well as showing it ’ s a high-quality course . They have actually just restructured it to make it more aligned with the industry and RICS guidance . ’

‘ My favourite thing about my degree is the time that lecturers , with vast industry experience , give to you and the way they truly want you to succeed – plus learning industryspecific software such as CostX . The course structure allows you to still be creative rather than limited to learning from a textbook . I have also been on a fieldtrip to Copenhagen and Malmo . ’
