This course on real estate investment and urban development (Vastgoedkunde) deepens the knowledge of students by introducing them into the real estate investment industry and world of urban development and financial markets. Students will get in touch with the people engaged in the dynamics of the real estate world through guest lectures and visits to the South Axis and (re)development projects in and around Amsterdam. They will study the developments on real estate markets and the techniques to invest, to develop, to valuate and manage real estate, also in the context of urban development. The focus will be on understanding the behaviour of the actors involved.

Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
