The MSc in Real Estate at the Henley Business

School appealed to me because of its unrivalled
reputation and access to a vast industry
network. Upon starting it was obvious
to see why, as I gained immediate exposure
to industry professionals through countless
networking opportunities and events hosted
throughout every week! Not only that but the
course offers a well-structured and balanced
array of modules that has allowed me to select
the pathway best suited to my particular
interests in the sector. A challenging but
most importantly enjoyable experience.
