A QUALIFICATION in real estate from the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) in Cirencester can now be taken by part-time students in London.

The MSc Real Estate course at the School of Real Estate and Land Management at the RAU has been designed for those aspiring to a career in real estate but will not necessarily be taught in the capital of the Cotswolds any longer.

After a two-day induction at Regents University Lonon, students attend teaching sessions every four weeks over an 18 to 24 month period putting in around 20 hours work each week.

The degree has already launched at another centre in Hong Kong, provided by the RAU but the university said that the new London-based option was driven by student demand.
