BSc Real Estate with MSc Diploma in Urban Planning and Development is a planning course with a difference, giving graduates an edge over those working in the property market.

At the end of four years students will have gained both an undergraduate and postgraduate qualification as well as accreditation from two professional institutions – the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Royal Town Planning Institute.

Students will have the ability to see the financial potential of any development opportunities as well as knowledge of the environmental and social issues critical for success. It is this unique combination that will give students a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Real Estate and planning at the University of Reading ranks 1st in the UK for 'Land and Property Management' (Complete University Guide, 2017-2020).

Students will follow the BSc Real Estate degree for their first two years of study and the Development and Planning specialism in their third year. During the fourth year, students will take a twelve-month MSc Urban Planning and Development course. In this year, students will focus on policy and practice analysis, specialist options such as regeneration, and planning and development project work. Students can gain awareness of the environmental and social issues crucial to the success of contemporary urban planning, and an ability to analyze the financial potential of development opportunities. This distinctive combination gives graduates a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
