What is the programme about? This is a four year sandwich honours degree programme incorporating three academic years and one full year of industrial work placement in third year. The aim of the programme is to develop a property professional who possesses the knowledge, skills and competencies required to work in the diverse sectors of the property industry such as valuation, estate agency, marketing, property management, investment, development, corporate real estate, research and land-use planning. The programme offers a business based qualification and covers residential, commercial, agricultural and specialist property. It is fully accredited by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and has international recognition through the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The programme meets the minimum educational requirements required to work as a property services provider under the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011. Who is the programme suited to? The broad based nature of the career opportunities available to property graduates makes it difficult to answer this question. For example, individuals who enjoy getting out and about and meeting people may be suited to the agency side of the industry while those who enjoy working with numbers may be attracted to the professional services or valuations.
