Course Overview

The economics of providing high-quality accommodation has become a global issue in the 21st Century. Owner-occupation is declining and governments around the world are withdrawing from the housing sector as private sector involvement continues to grow. In the UK, Labour/Conservative governments alike have addressed the need for institutional investment with measures/structures aimed at encouraging investment within real estate. However, institutional investment remains comparatively low, with buy-to-let being a fractured/cottage industry. Real Estate Investment Trust is a specialist area within Abertay, with academic staff having considerable professional experience within the asset management industry. Industry links are vital for relevant research within the sector, and Abertay is fortunate to employ staff who are active members of both the Society of Property Forecasters and are CFA charter holders.

Abertay’s vibrant research culture encourages areas of cross-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary working and draws from accountancy, economics, and law. We are a member of the SGSSS network, a collaboration of Scottish Universities whose goal is to provide world-leading postgraduate education and research.
