• Students can go on to work in valuation surveying, real estate, property investment and management, auctioneering and estate agencies in Ireland and abroad. The program is also suitable for students interested in property development, town planning and the general investment market
• The program seeks to progressively develop and integrate the various core and complementary disciplines required for the professional education of a property economist or property asset manager

For the Property Asset Management & Valuation option in final year, the emphasis is changed somewhat to concentrate on Property Asset Management, Housing Studies and Valuation
