Patrick's Manchester
MSc Real Estate Asset Management graduate, Patrick Mooney, talks about why he chose this course at Manchester and how it supported his career path.
“The University of Manchester is one of the only Russell Group Universities to offer a real estate master’s course. As most of the big real estate companies have offices in Manchester, I felt I could gain good work experience whilst studying. Completing my master’s enabled me to sit my Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Assessment of Professional Competence to become qualified as a chartered surveyor."
