The master's programme in Real Estate and Construction Management opens the door to engaging professions in real estate development, law, economics, management, finance, and construction management.
The dynamic combination of applied and theoretical courses with group projects and industry interaction gives graduates the skills to excel in the building and real estate markets. The programme is RICS accredited for delivering the highest standards in real estate education.
The master's programme in Real Estate and Construction Management will give you a sound knowledge and understanding of real estate and construction management and their appropriate skills, abilities, and techniques. You will develop analytical and problem-solving skills applicable in various contexts of real estate and construction management. Throughout the programme you will experience learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom, connect with industry professionals and interact with leading academics.
The programme consists of four semesters of full-time study. The first semester consists mainly of foundation courses, after which it is possible to focus according to your educational background and interests. You can choose among three profiles: Construction Project Management, Real Estate Development and Land Law, and Building and Real Estate Economics. While a few courses are mandatory for all students, most courses are conditionally elective. Some conditionally elective courses in the 'Real Estate Development and Land Law' profile are taught only in Swedish.
In the final semester, you will conduct a master's degree project, a detailed study of a subject area within the scope of the programme. The degree project provides the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired from the courses to a problem chosen within the research profile. You can carry out the degree project at a company in Sweden or abroad. You may also work independently in an area of choice, as long as it falls within the research area of the profile.
This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Architecture and Built Environment (at KTH).
Graduates from the programme have in-depth knowledge of construction project management, real estate economics and real estate development and land law. They have the skills to work in and lead real estate and construction management projects, collaborate across disciplinary boundaries, work independently, exercise their power of initiative and create new ideas for a sustainable built environment.
Given the borderless nature of the subjects covered in the programme, graduates are prepared for careers at private building and real estate companies, financial institutions, consultancy companies, and local and national public organisations, both nationally and internationally. Graduates from the programme have gone on to work in organisations such as:
