What learners say about this course

“Great content, very well structured.”
Ana Olivares
Director, The Instant Group
“I revised and learned new topics regarding real estate, and believe the content will help me to perform better in my work.”
Andre Francisco Gomes Ribeiro
Portfolio Manager/Civil Engineer
“I have been working in commercial real estate for the past three years, first as an analyst and now as a broker in occupier services. Having graduated from Duke University with a degree in history and a minor in political science, I lacked the fundamental economic background needed to be successful in commercial real estate. I have taken several courses on real estate finance and modelling but the LSE Real Estate Economics and Finance course provided me with the opportunity to combine my technical skills with a comprehensive knowledge of real estate economics. It was a fantastic course that will benefit me long into my real estate career.”
