About Property Development, BSc (Hons) - at University of Portsmouth

Overview

This accredited BSc (Hons) Property Development degree course gives you the commercial, managerial, technical and creative skills you need to launch your career in real estate. Learn to meet the challenges of a fast-moving property industry, from the refurbishment of affordable housing to overseeing the construction of multi-million-pound developments.

You'll master skills in computer-aided design (CAD) and evolve expert knowledge in the application of sustainable development, law for the built environment, property valuation, and property economics and investment. You'll also develop the entrepreneurial spirit you need to lead on pioneering projects.

Increased investment in developing infrastructure is a key part of the government's plan to 'Build Back Better' so you could play a key role in our society's goals and realising a new era of sustainable development.

Course Highlights

  • Choose specialist modules that match your interests and career ambitions, such as heritage property conservation and management, international built environment fieldwork, project management and dispute resolution 
  • Get out of the classroom through on-site visits where you'll tour building sites and meet contractors, experiencing your future workplace
  • Take an optional European study trip to a construction project – past destinations include Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands
  • Be inspired with visits from guest speakers with key industry experience, including property developers, land agents and course graduates – one industry contact gave a guest lecture on their experience working in the British Virgin Islands for AECOM
  • Benefit from our partnerships with Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council and our professional advisory board who arrange site visits and share their industry knowledge
