Duration
3 Years
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual compulsory modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The programme is structured carefully to equip students with a coherent understanding of urbanism and the built environment, with a particular focus on the role of real estate investment, development and appraisal. Core modules are structured around the three streams of understanding, managing and delivering urban change, with specialist real estate modules covering real estate economics, management, investment, development and appraisal.
Students will become familiar with theories, methodologies, skills, and techniques taken from the social science, urban planning and design disciplines. These aim to develop a capacity for critical thinking, problem solving and creative expression.
In the first two years, students follow eight core modules a year, one of which is directly related to the real estate specialism. The others seek to build core knowledge, competencies and skills across the discipline. Students are eligible to apply to study abroad in the second term of year two.

About this course
This BSc offers students a broad-based education in the built environment with an opportunity to specialise in real estate. It provides students with a route towards professional accreditation by two of the most internationally recognised professional bodies for built environment professionals in the UK (see accreditation above).
The Bartlett's strong research track record and links to professional practice will feed into the core and specialist aspects of the programme, ensuring that contemporary challenges and issues in theory and practice are addressed.
In addition to the academic activities at the school and across UCL, London offers built environment students an unrivalled concentration of professional meetings, seminars, conferences, exhibitions and events which will greatly enrich your education.
The Bartlett maintains an international outlook and provides opportunities for combined study overseas in Europe, North America, Australia and Hong Kong.
This programme enables you to acquire highly transferable knowledge and skills such as data collection, analysis and presentation, graphic skills, the ability to resolve problems and conflicts, negotiation and mediation, team work and leadership, managing work tasks, preparing and writing professional reports, as well as written, graphic, and oral presentation skills.
Graduates will be equipped to take up employment in a vast range of positions within the property and planning professions where their analytical, negotiating and problem-solving skills will be valued. Demand for people with planning skills combined with knowledge of the real estate sector in the UK and abroad is strong.
Our students go on to work for a range of employers in the private, public and third sectors, including property companies, surveying firms, planning consultancies, developers, in the civil service, and in local and international non-governmental organisations. Due to the nature of our BSc programmes as a route for eligible membership of RICS/RTPI, it is also expected that many of our students will go on to further study.
English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
