Course summary
Overview
The MSc Real Estate Finance programme is designed to prepare graduates for careers in real estate finance and investment management. Real estate is the world’s largest asset class. The sophistication and complexity of real estate asset markets has changed radically over the past two decades. This has happened as a result of the expansion of the indirect market both in terms of publicly listed real estate specifically real estate investment trusts (REITS) and a range of investment vehicles in particular various forms of property fund. With this expansion has come the development of a comprehensive real estate investment management sector. The top 100 real estate investment managers now account for over 4 trillion pounds worth of real estate assets. Further relevant market drivers of change include the advent of investment strategies related to ESG and Sustainability, the increasing importance of Green Finance and applications of AI and Blockchain including tokenisation. As a result of all these changes real estate has become a mainstream asset class for a wider range of investors.
The MSc Real Estate Finance programme is designed and offered jointly by the Department of Real Estate & Planning and the ICMA Centre and thus combines the resources and expertise of two leading units of the Henley Business School. It is the only real estate finance programme designed and offered with direct input (e.g., core finance modules, trading rooms and databases) from a Finance Department within a Business School setting.
The combination of real estate and pure finance modules provide students with the skills to place real estate investment and finance within the context of the broader capital markets. Students learn the quantitative and conceptual skills needed to make the complex decisions in the real estate finance and investment sector.
