The UK, Singapore, Dubai, Brussels and Hong Kong are just some of the destinations where graduates of this course have gone on to work, in both rural and urban environments. Whether you wish to pursue a career in commercial, rural, residential or industrial property our Real Estate course will develop your skills, networks and confidence. Graduates have fulfilled roles at prestigious companies such as Deloitte Real Estate, Hamptons International and Savills.

You will learn through lectures, smaller group tutorials, visiting lecturers from industry, practical sessions, study visits and real-life case studies as well as completing a Research Project in a subject area of specific interest. The course is also flexible and it is possible to transfer on to the Rural Land Management degree at the end of the first year, and occasionally, at the end of the second year.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
At the Royal Agricultural University we want to encourage students from a wide range of backgrounds to participate in higher education. The additional insight gained through contextual information allows us to recognise a student’s achievements and identify their potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. We are, therefore, committed to offering all eligible students a contextual offer, which is 8 UCAS tariff points lower than our standard offer.
