HND's related to property development

I do architecture, not property so I don't really have any experience in it, But, I'd say look at he college your thinking of's website, or contact them via phone or email and ask to look at the module breakdowns

Remember, that you don't need any qualifications to just start developing property

Personally, I would look at architecture k100, it will save fees with an architect, and allow you to have a title, that will stay with you even if the property market dives. Don't be put off by high A-Level requirements though; check out www.architecture.com - ther's colleges that will allow you in even your A-Level's arn't amazing.

Architecture (K100) will also increase your sensitivity to property and architecture, and possibly expand your creativity and imagination when developing an existing building. Thus making your projects more successful, and possibly have the edge over other developere.

If your interested in a purely financial based property course, I'd reluctantly suggest considering Real Estate. I believe Readings course is quite good.
Remember though, It's not all like it looks on Sarah Beeny!

hi, i'm studying construction management, but at BSc level. construction management is what it says on tin, the management of construction.... so if as you are interested in property development, wouldn't it be more ideal to study something with 'property' in the subject title.
i would also suggest emailing/phoning the course leader(s), to explain what you want to study, to see if it is provided in the course you are interested in undertaking.
good luck!

I don't really know much about any of those courses, you said you don't want to go too far away from home so wouldn't it be best to contact your local university and find out which courses are most closely related to property development. If you want to become a property developer would it not be easier to learn from experience than through a degree? Do you know any property developers who you could contact and perhaps do work experience with them?

cant you just check the website it says it all there?

http://www.solent.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/property_development_hnd/course_details.aspx

and just look at the other websites of the unis you are considering for hons in PD

Ah right, they're probably scared you'll be competition I'd say go for the construction management then. Good luck!

ok, from your previous questions, i have another opinion on this site,

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070410054915AAPxL49

i don't know if that is of any help to you!

www.prospects.ac.uk is a great website for looking up what is involved in jobs, therefore helps with searching for courses.
From what you have said above, I think being a Facilities Manager might suit you. http://www.prospects.ac.uk/cms/ShowPage/Home_page/Explore_types_of_jobs/Types_of_Job/p!eipaL?state=showocc&idno=794
The first line on this website says "Facilities management relates to the management of an organisation's buildings, their infrastructure and services". This sounds like something that might be of interest to you, so please have a little read of it!

http://www.bifm.org.uk/bifm/home might also be useful.

UCAS inform you about which unis do which courses http://www.ucas.com/search/index07.html

Canterbury College, an associate of Kent University, does a HND in Facilities Management (not too far away)http://www.kent.ac.uk/studying/where/associate/canterbury.html
The UCAS course code is 522N.

Have you thought of doing a degree at all?
