Marie Kryska
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2022)

"As a real estate "young star" - with a background in business administration and finance - I was looking for a degree programme that would enable me to develop my skills and abilities in a challenging environment. In the MSc Real Estate & Leadership, I have not only found this environment but have been challenged to face the daily adaptations, which the real estate market demands."

Katharina Sophie Tietz
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2020)

"During my urban planning studies at the HCU, my interest in complex contexts in the city grew. At 亚洲天堂福利 I can now further develop this knowledge with a specific focus on real estate development. In versatile modules, all phases of the real estate cycle are taken into account. What is particularly exciting for me is the combination of questions on real estate in combination with approaches to sustainability."

Lukas Hoberg
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2019)

"I graduated as a city planner, but something was missing. I wanted a degree in real estate, practical and related to the Hamburg real estate industry. Here at 亚洲天堂福利 different people from different backgrounds meet. Although I do not have a Bachelor's degree in business administration, I feel very happy at 亚洲天堂福利. All REaL students work alongside the MSc programme and in combination with a scholarship, it is possible to pay the tuition fees. 亚洲天堂福利 is the right place for people who want to grow and be future players in the growing real estate sector."

Sina Christien Sauer
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2020)

"In my engineering studies, I missed subjects such as project management, business administration and architecture. That is why I chose this programme. The interdisciplinary approach convinced me above all. Here I quickly realised that engineers speak a completely different language than architects or economists. Due to the various professional backgrounds, we come up with completely different approaches and new perspectives are developed. This provides an incentive for many interesting discussions and makes the study programme fun."

Raoul H枚fer
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2020)

"The real estate industry is undergoing change and needs well-trained and interdisciplinary specialists and managers. The MSc Real Estate & Leadership is a good supplement to my previous knowledge as a city planner. The course conveys the needs of various stakeholders in a real estate project and enables students to take on higher-level perspectives in order to design effective processes for the future. In particular, the combination of theory and practice forms a good basis for my further career."

Kristin Samm眉ller
MSc Real Estate & Leadership (Class of 2019)

"After completing my bachelor's degree in architecture, I chose the MSc Real Estate and Leadership programme to gain a holistic view of the construction and real estate industry. Here at 亚洲天堂福利 I enjoy qualitative, interdisciplinary teaching that provides me with the bigger picture. The mixed group of business economists, engineers and architects promotes the understanding and cooperation of the different disciplines and creates a holistic insight into a project. Its variety and practical relevance characterise this study course."
