MSc Real Estate in Oxford and London

Each year during the first week, the new students on the MSc Real Estate take a walk around Oxford accompanied by the 'Oxford Property Market Questionnaire' - the purpose of which is to make them more familiar with the city centre and to equip them with the relevant information about the city that they need to construct a group presentation based on the property market in Oxford.

The students had a (brilliant) guided tour of Westgate Oxford, the completely refurbished (and rebuilt) shopping centre at the end of Queen Street - a joint development between Land Securities and The Crown Estate. Thanks to Land Securities for the tour. The shopping centre looks so different from when a group of MSc Real Estate students visited in 2014!

...and in 2014

Later on in the first week the course leader (Mike Patrick) took the students to London for a tour of Victoria (including Portland House) and King's Cross. Thanks to Land Securities (Victoria) and Savills (King's Cross) for hosting the tours. Mike took some photos...
