ABBEY MASTER OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT + DESIGN (MRED+D)

The interdisciplinary Abbey Master of Real Estate Development + Design goes beyond the fundamentals — finance, law and entitlements, construction, economics and market analysis — to place special focus on design, sustainability and resilience, and equity and inclusion. It is offered on campus both as a one-year full-time program and a two-year part-time program.
