Programme outline
The curriculum of the programme covers four terms of full time studies. Within the programme it is possible to specialize in: Construction Project Management, Real Estate Development and Land Law or Building and Real Estate Economics. Some of the courses in Real Estate Development and Land Law are taught in Swedish.
The first semester consists mainly of foundation courses for all students within the programme. After the first semester it is possible to specialize according to educational background and interest. In the final semester, students will write a degree project.
Degree project
The student will carry out an in-depth study on a subject area within the scope of the programme. This gives the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired from the courses in a scientific manner to a problem chosen within the research profile of the track. The Degree project may be carried out at a company in Sweden or abroad. Students may also work independently in an area of their own choice, as long as it falls within the research profile of the track. The Degree project will be presented in a seminar.
