Does Your Career Fulfil You?

Career changes usually happen more than once these days, due to many factors, including technological change and life changes and mobility. There is no such thing as a job for life anymore!

Considering a career in real estate

There are many opportunities, however, including branching into real estate or property management. Are you considering a career change? Do you have a flair for real-estate or property management? Or maybe you are intrigued by construction and design?

Real estate/property practitioners are professional people who work in all spheres of the property industry. The challenge for a property practitioner is to provide spaces that efficiently meet organisational requirements. This requires a combination of legal, financial and even engineering skills.

Prepare with flexible education

Real estate study covers all aspects relating to land and buildings, including the development of land and the management of buildings, the valuation of such property and decision-making regarding finance of and investment in property.  It exposes students to a broad knowledge base including finance, economics, property law, among others.

Typical topics covered in real estate and property study may include the following:

Introduction or background, establishing the concept of real estate as an asset, and institutions that make up the sector.

Real estate investment analysis explores the basic tools for analysing different levels of real estate investments.

Real estate finance should provide a working knowledge of how different types of real estate are financed. A corporate finance course focuses more specifically on the investment and financial decisions of investors in real estate and financial markets. Finance courses can be complemented with further studies in real estate valuation, property management and real estate investments and finance.
