Postgraduate study
If you are looking for a postgraduate programme that will prepare you fully for a career in property in the UK and internationally, then the mix of academic rigour and pragmatic application on our MSc Real Estate programmes is the perfect start. They are well established as premier postgraduate programmes for students entering the real estate profession. The aim is to provide a theoretical framework in the early modules and to develop this with practical, real life examples and case studies. We have developed strong and extensive links with the property and construction industry sectors and engage leading industry figures of international standing as visiting professors and lecturers. Our postgraduate programmes are consistently ranked as excellent in both student surveys and independent quality assessments.

Research
Our teaching is underpinned by strong research activity in the fields of property and construction in which the department has an excellent reputation for the quality of its research (RAE 2008). Our main research clusters are the Construction and Project Management Group (CPM) and Real Estate and Land Policy Group (RELP) both based within the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development (OISD). All of our academic staff are involved in academic research and/or professional/commercial consultancy work. This allows us to continuously improve our courses to be relevant to the ever-changing needs of industry and to reflect the latest thinking at the cutting-edge of innovation and practice
