Facility and Real Estate Management - Saxion University

The programme:
We see buildings as a strategic asset and part of the value chain of integrated facility management. The unique two-year Master degree programme at Saxion – in collaboration with the University of Greenwich – takes this as its basis. The English-language MSc in Facility and Real Estate Management enables you to support complex projects at an academic level. The degree programme is fully aligned with the professional field and is constantly updated to reflect recent academic insights.

- Strategic Business Management
This module looks at the most important management theories and strategies. You will discuss the impact on the primary and supporting processes within organisations and learn how these processes can support the objectives of an organisation.
- Strategic Building Management
You will look at the complex life cycle of a building. You will study the real estate strategies of the organisation and improve and evaluate building performance from the perspective of the building’s users.
- Strategic Asset Management
How can you improve the portfolio from a financial perspective? You will base your analysis on the capital market, investment climate, financial reports, and portfolio performance.
- Strategic Facility Management
Alignment of the organisational strategy and facility strategy are central. The organisational strategy and stakeholder interests will be used to determine the value that can be added by the facility business in order to arrive at a value proposition that can be used to help make make-or-buy decisions and develop an appropriate structure.
