Doing a Joint Honours gave me more options and the ability to discover the modules for both courses and areas that I would like to go into. The lecturers are excellent and give you loads of guidance. Charley Torr Joint Honours student
Why choose this course? This course will give you a good insight into the world of property development. You will be taught by professionals in this field and you will learn the latest theoretical knowledge and practical skills. You will be studying alongside other built environment students, so you will pick up a wide range of knowledge that will develop you as an all round professional. About the course A joint honours degree is a perfect choice for you if you want a flexible degree that will allow you to study more than one subject. Most students combine this course with either Architectural Design or Business Management. Today’s property market is huge, and the need for people to manage increasingly high value and diverse property portfolios continues to grow. Property development covers everything from renovating a small house to multi-million pound development schemes and we’ve developed this course to reflect this. Teaching and learning You will be taught by staff with a wide range of professional experience in property development, including surveyors, architects, structural and civil engineers, economists, planners and lawyers. So you can be sure you will be learning the most up to date practice from people who really know what they are talking about.
