The job application season is well underway for both our final year undergraduates and our MSc students. The season kicked off with an introductory session on careers in the property industry with Nick French (Programme Leader for the MSc Real Estate) and Sue Holton (Head of the Careers and Employment Centre at Oxford Brookes).
And then on 7 October students and staff were joined by members of our alumni society
OBREMS and the Department of REC Professional Liaison Group for a whole day dedicated to careers. The day consisted of a series of presentations with plenty of breaks for networking and discussions. The first session: Things That You Need to Know, featured a few faces from the MSc Real Estate 2011 and 2013.
