What will I learn?

UCL’s International Real Estate and Planning MSc prepares you to build your career in real estate, planning and urban policy. This real estate and planning master's degree examines the relationship between real estate markets and planning systems, as well as the relationships between markets and policy at local, national and international levels. You study how real estate markets operate and explore market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers and occupiers. The International Real Estate and Planning MSc equips you with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for careers in real estate and planning. It prepares you for roles in areas such as property market analysis, property valuation, investment and development, as well as planning and urban policy roles. The degree explores the systems that govern urban planning and the property market, including commercial real estate, residential market mechanisms, ownership frameworks, taxation and subsidies, land use, and planning policies. It examines market mechanisms from the perspectives of investors, developers, and occupiers of buildings, and explores the interplay between markets and policies. Additionally, the degree offers insight into the variations across national boundaries, providing you with theoretical and practical knowledge applicable on an international scale. We welcome applications from individuals who wish to work in real estate industry (commercial or residential sectors) and planning sector internationally, and to break the boundaries between built environment professions. The course is designed for graduates and professionals from any background. Whether you’re a recent graduate or a working professional, we offer part-time and flexible study options that let you balance work and study. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.

Entry requirements

For international students

An upper second-class honours Bachelor's degree (or higher) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing is required. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an 'initial' planning and real estate education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees. Applicants who do not hold an upper second-class degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning real estate or a related field (but in all cases a minimum of 2:2 will be required).

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
