The Master in Real Estate starts in August 2025 and is completed with an MSc degree. The internationally-oriented degree programme comprehensively covers various facets of real estate management. In addition to the two main topics of financing and investment, this also includes project development, transactions and investment structuring, real estate banking and capital markets, sustainability, digitalisation, AI, and ethics. Through accompanying case studies throughout the programme, students gain an in-depth understanding of the application and implementation of the theoretical content and contexts they have learned. The programme is rounded off by two comprehensive Frankfurt School case studies on the focus topics of Real Estate Development & Entrepreneurship and Financial Engineering for Real Estate Investments, which enable students to apply the specialist knowledge they have acquired during their studies in a holistic manner (360 degree view).

The Executive Diploma in Real Estate Economics is a comprehensive part-time study programme that stands out due to its unique concept and combines the fundamental building blocks of the real estate industry with individually selectable specialisation options. In the compulsory modules, students acquire comprehensive knowledge in all relevant areas of property management. There is a particular focus on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the closely intertwined areas of finance and capital markets and explicitly and comprehensively considers the major drivers of sustainability and digitalisation. In addition, the elective seminars offer students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and skills according to their individual career goals and interests.

The part-time programme is designed by renowned experts from science and practice - with all the theoretical foundations and a focus on direct implementation in everyday professional life. Special emphasis is placed on the teaching of practice-relevant content by experienced RICS members and fellows.
