![]() ![]() Hope this has been some help! Any further questions about degrees or what life is like at Reading feel free to ask! Sophie Second Year Philosophy student So, my advice would be to think about what you would enjoy doing at university. Graduates from Reading have gone onto working on a project building a new city for 30 million people in China, and the new olympic park. You want to pick a degree that you will enjoy studying for three or more years, so if real estate is something you think you would enjoy then go for that! From looking at the course, your career prospects are not limited at all. I would recommend looking at the pros and cons of studying real estate alongside something like economics if that is what you are interested in. Am I better choosing a more diverse degree such as Economics or an Investmemt like degree then specialising in Real Estate as a Masters? Any input would be greatly appreciated!□ Posted from TSR Mobile Hi I am a student ambassador at the University of Reading and study Philosophy so I do not know lots about real estate! But, I can understand if you are confused as it is a big decision to make. My other worry is that it may be to specific for an undergrad degree. ![]() Also, it has to be noted that the entry requirements are very low and I'm just unsure to the reasons why?(except for Reading). My main worries is that there are only a few unis who offer it and even fewer with a reputable reputation in regards to employment prospects. Hi I wanted your opinions on applying to an undergraduate degree in Real Estate. Hope this helps! I have met a load of people on work experience who have done this degree at various unis and all have great careers that are pretty far away from anything to do with estate agency!!! You should go to open days to see for yourself though I have applied for this course and put Sheffield Hallam as my firm choice, I went to all the the other open days though and they all seemed like really good courses and good unis! It contains aspects such as property valuation, property law, planning and development, economics, investment, property management etc. I get the impression that the course is pretty similar at all the unis that offer it. ![]() The course leader at Sheffield Hallam said that they had the option of putting up the grades but didn't as they didn't want to discourage people from applying. Readings are higher because it is a more academic course, and arguably a more prestigious university. I was slightly concerned about the low entry requirements but after attending various open days at Nottingham Trent, Reading, Oxford Brookes, Northumbria and Sheffield Hallam it became clear that because nearly no-one starting the course will have much experience they decide to put the entry requirements lower. JLL) after their degree to complete their assessment of professional competence in order to become a chartered surveyor by the RICS, similarly to how accountants become chartered. Most people who do this degree go to work for property companies (e.g. I only thought about applying to do this course because my dad works in property, many of my friends etc think that I am going to become some glorified estate agent or something by the end of it, this really is a misconception. A 'real estate' degree IS NOT a degree you take if you want to become an estate agent! It is completely different! It is a relatively unknown degree and many of the career paths that people who do the degree are not at all obvious.
