The MSF-RE Programme is a professional degree built on a robust tradition of finance and real estate courses. Students will possess a solid array of tools with which they can adapt to the evolving and inherently multi-disciplinary industry. The programme is structured to develop knowledge and proficiency in:
•
Financial and quantitative decision-making skills
•
Critical thinking, evaluation and analysis skills
•
Oral and written communication skills
•
Familiarity with contemporary software and database tools
The programme starts in March of each calendar year and runs for 15 months. August is a summer holiday, and December is a winter holiday. No classes are conducted in the holy month of Ramadan. Courses run for a maximum of 3 weeks. Students meet with DePaul professors 3 times per week; twice during the evening from 6:00pm - 9:30pm and in mornings on 3 consecutive weekends from 8:00am - 3:30pm. Weekends are usually Fridays for this programme.
