Master in Real Estate Development (full-time) at IE University
The Master in Real Estate Development programme at IE University equips students with financial, strategic and legal knowledge of global real estate.
The Master in Real Estate Development (MRED) explores the relationship between real estate and the conscientious development of a city.
It is a one-year advanced degree aimed at understanding the breadth and depth of the development process.
The experience is complemented by immersive weeks: a mandatory trip to Barcelona and optional visits to Berlin and Hamburg, giving students firsthand exposure to other European markets, regulatory frameworks, and innovative urban projects.
The course provides a foundation in the economic, financial, strategic and legal aspects of real estate development throughout the world.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) accredits the IE Master in Real Estate Development full-time, enabling graduates to enter the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).
