Course overview

This course deepens Students’ understanding of economics and property concepts from ‘Discovering Opportunities in Property (DOP)’ and 'Principles of Economics’, while enhancing analytical skills from ‘Quantitative Methods for Business’. Unlike DOP, this course establishes theoretical foundations of property markets and values, applying principles using International Valuation Standards. Students will explore economic and geographical factors influencing property markets and solve practical problems faced by real estate professionals. The course develops Enterprise Skills, focusing on problem-solving, written communication, and international perspectives, with weekly Excel exercises. This foundational course is crucial for subsequent studies in valuation, marketing, management, and property development, relating material to global examples.
