Description

Content

This module explores the management of real estate assets from the perspective of the various stakeholders (owners, tenants, and occupiers).

It aims to provide the student with an understanding of the role, responsibilities, and skills required of asset managers, property managers, and corporate real estate managers. The module will also cover aspects such as corporate social responsibility in property management, environmental issues, and facilities management.
