IREBS Executive Education has been recognized as a leading institution in the real estate industry. In the European comparison, IREBS is positioned as the second-ranked institution, trailing closely behind the University of Reading. On a global scale, IREBS holds a close position at 17th place, just behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The REAL Ranking compares individuals and institutions in the real estate industry based on their research work and contributions in three real estate journals: Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, the Journal of Real Estate Research, and Real Estate Economics.
In the university ranking of 2012 by the Immobilien Zeitung (IZ), the IREBS Executive Education was recognized as the leading professional education institution focusing on real estate among 21 evaluated institutions. In the category of "Overall Studies," the academy received a rating of "excellent." Furthermore, it emerged victorious in four individual categories, including practical relevance, study structure and organization, professors, and learning environment, surpassing its competitors. In a survey, students of the IREBS Executive Education particularly praised the small group sizes, the successful combination of practical expertise from the industry and academic experience, the network, and the outstanding location of the academy.
Our part-time programme in Real Estate Economics was accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 1992, making it the first programme of its kind in continental Europe, with retroactive accreditation from 1990.
Since then, the RICS has continuously reaffirmed its recommendation for the part-time programme offered by IREBS Executive Education. The most recent accreditation was granted in January 2019 for the following five years, until the end of 2024. This extended accreditation is a clear indication of the trust and confidence that the RICS has in the IREBS Executive Education. Graduates of the part-time programme in Real Estate Economics can register for examinations with the RICS, demonstrating their qualifications and competency.
Graduates from the IREBS Executive Education not only benefit from exceptional career prospects within the German real estate industry but also have the chance to demonstrate their skills and commitment on an international level through the accreditation of their degree by RICS. By becoming members of RICS, they join a worldwide network of professionals, gaining access to valuable networking opportunities and fostering the formation of engaging business collaborations with highly skilled experts.

In a time of rapid change, growing complexity, and rapid digitization, it is vital to stay ahead of the curve. That is why we are thrilled to have Professor Dr. Tobias Just, a research practitioner with exceptional expertise and a forward-thinking mindset, join our ranks as a Fellow."
In 2015, Prof. Dr. Tobias Just was recognized as one of the top 100 economists in Germany by the F.A.Z., in their nationwide ranking of the most influential economists.
In 2013, Prof. Dr. Tobias Just received one of the highest honours in the real estate industry: he was named the "Leader of the Real Estate Industry" by prominent real estate journalists.
