Hear from Andreas Schulten himself.

I highly recommend the Executive MBA in Real Estate International. Within a short timeframe, we were introduced to the essential content and terminology of the real estate industry. Practical case studies prepared us for collaborating with project partners from various fields, such as financial experts, investors, brokers, lawyers, and specialized planners.

The highlights of the Executive MBA programme were the two study trips to Singapore and Cambridge (Harvard). The workshops held during these stays were at the forefront of the industry, providing insights into the current global transformations in the real estate world. The innovative thinking at Harvard and the strategic urban development and co-working space solutions in Singapore have been truly inspiring for my role as a real estate project developer.

Participating in the CREA Blended programme was a valuable experience for me. I found the practical approach in the classes, emphasized by the lecturers, to be highly motivating and immediately applicable. Despite having some professional experience, I still gained valuable new insights. The hybrid format of in-person sessions and e-learning allowed me to have flexible study hours. I highly recommend this programme!

The study programme covers all facets of the CREM landscape in a practical manner. The digital setup of the IREBS Real Estate Academy and the provided infrastructure specifically allowed students to actively participate in all lectures by streaming them from home. The intensive Corporate Real Estate Management study programme is suitable for both career changers and industry experts due to its thematic variety and depth, enabling them to take the next step professionally and personally.

The part-time study programme in Commercial Real Estate Asset Management was a true enrichment for me, both professionally and personally. Not only did I learn a lot and sharpen my professional perspective, but I also had a great time with wonderful fellow students. Additionally, with IMMOEBS e.V., I now have access to a great network that will surely accompany me for a long time.

Continuing education is always beneficial! With the Real Estate Asset Management programme, I was able to enhance my knowledge and fine-tune my services as a representative of office property owners. Understanding the responsibilities and mindset of an asset manager was essential for me. The opportunity to interact with lecturers and fellow students enriched my network and propelled my professional growth. The IREBS Real Estate Academy offers numerous advantages for anyone aspiring to a career in the real estate industry.

In the Real Estate Asset Management part-time study programme, I had the opportunity to bring in and further develop my practical experience in asset and transaction management. The combination of a solid theoretical foundation and engaging discussions with fellow students and lecturers from different sectors of the real estate industry was invaluable and inspiring. This comprehensive programme provided me with the ideal platform to effectively address the multifaceted and challenging tasks of a Real Estate Asset Manager and to pursue further specialisation.

As an asset manager, it is crucial for me to have a holistic perspective and make smart decisions in the strategic management of real estate. The Real Estate Asset Management study programme has broadened my horizons. In addition to covering current topics such as ESG, the programme provided valuable opportunities for professional exchange with lecturers and colleagues.

An extensive understanding of metrics and acquisition calculations holds particular relevance in my day-to-day activities. This knowledge deserves to be rigorously examined. The Real Estate Transaction Management programme has allowed me to strengthen my existing expertise in transaction management while also broadening my horizons. The result for me is a more comprehensive view of my daily transactional landscape.

Transactions are multifaceted endeavours: Through the Real Estate Transaction Management programme, I have not only developed proficiency in orchestrating and strategizing transaction processes but also acquired invaluable soft skills. These skills have equipped me to effectively navigate challenging markets and achieve success in executing transactions.

It is imperative for the real estate sector to embrace more ambitious measures in addressing climate change and make a significant impact. Relying on an energy crisis as the catalyst for reducing the proportion of gas heating to below 35% in new residential construction is hardly a testament to proactive climate protection efforts. There are numerous viable solutions available, and what is needed is a resolute commitment to their implementation.
