Track: Management in the Built Environment
It is broadly recognised that insight, knowledge and skills in process and management are of vital importance to professionals in the world of architecture, construction and the built environment, especially in today’s circumstances. The Management in the Built Environment track (formerly Real Estate and Housing track) engages with this need by exploring the managerial dimension and the processes involved with these industries.

What you will learn
Students learn how to manage the urban development and construction process so as to guide the many stakeholders to achieve high quality and financially rewarding development. They learn how to manage the process at the ‘object level’ – that is, involving buildings and structures, as well as at the ‘supply level’ – involving the management of real estate portfolios and urban areas.
This track sets itself apart from other Management in the Built Environment programmes in its design focus. As part of the faculty of architecture, this programme builds on our strength in creating multidisciplinary design-based solutions. Prospective students must demonstrate a sensibility to the processes involved in the design of building projects and have a keen interest in managerial issues.
Management in the Built Environment has a very active community of students: BOSS Students. Many activities are organised, including business tours, debates and study trips.
