About this Course

From climate change to shifting demographics, pandemics and new technologies, the real estate market is experiencing significant change. The way we transact, manage, and invest in property is being redesigned as a result of global megatrends, innovation, and disruption. In the face of change, professionals are now being asked: how will you adapt your portfolio for greater resilience?

Gain insight into the future of investment and development on the Oxford Real Estate Investment Programme from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. This broad, six-week programme explores the impact of global trends and forces on commercial, residential, and sustainable real estate, both now and in the future. You’ll explore a framework of theory, practice, and innovation, gaining a range of perspectives that empower you to appraise development and investment opportunities. With insights from industry leaders, and the Oxford Future of Real Estate Initiative, you’ll discover solutions to modern-day problems and become equipped to build a resilient real estate portfolio.

This programme has been built for professionals, executives, functional experts, leaders, and decision makers in real estate, finance, investment, engineering, and construction. It’s also ideal for those from complementary or adjacent sectors aiming to disrupt or transition into the real estate market. With a broad industry outlook, the programme will equip traditional real estate businesses and professionals, as well as those aiming to break into the market, with the skills to respond to industry change. Property investors and venture capitalists will learn to better harness opportunities in start-ups and PropTech, and be equipped to build resilient portfolios that withstand the changes that global trends, innovation, and disruption bring. Experienced professionals working in technology, business development, or real estate sales will gain holistic insight into a shifting landscape. There are no prerequisites for this course, but an understanding of maths and finance will be beneficial to participants.

During the programme, professionals will have the opportunity to network with industry experts and leaders from around the world. Upon completion, you will join the Saïd Business School e-lumni community and gain access to the Oxford Saïd Executive Education Alumni group on LinkedIn.*

*Access to this group will only be granted following the participant’s successful completion and passing of the programme.
