Real Estate Careers

The job application season is well underway for both our final year undergraduates and our MSc students. A number of careers events have already taken place, with more to follow...

First of all, a day of Graduate Assessment Workshops took place in late September with workshops hosted by Savills, CBRE, Lambert Smith Hampton and Oxford Brookes Careers together with a networking lunch in the Sports Bar.

And then in early October students and staff were joined by members of our Careers Service and number of presenters from: Knight Frank LLP, Carter Jonas, Pinders, Montagu Evans, Berkeley Homes, Cluttons, Network Rail, Savills and JLL for the Real Estate Careers Day 2019. Many of the presenters were graduates from Oxford Brookes (BSc Real Estate Management, BA Planning and Property Development and MSc Real Estate) and also members of our alumni society - OBREMS. As well as the presentations there were lots of opportunities for networking.
