Infrastructure and Real Estate Management - Courses, Colleges and Careers

The MBA program is usually divided into four semesters.

• The first semester usually has core subjects like business management, managerial economics, financial accounting and computer applications, and industry-specific subjects like urban infrastructure and real estate, and urban planning and urbanization process.

• The second semester generally includes subjects like financial management, research methodology and business law as core subjects. Real estate economics, real estate marketing and research, project management and business development of real estate are industry-specific subjects which might be taught in this semester.

• In the third semester, you will usually find subjects like strategic management and quantitative techniques as core subjects, and legal framework of urban infrastructure and real estate, real estate valuation, funding and investment options, and land procurement and acquisition as industry-focused subjects.

• The last semester will most probably cover industry-related subjects like construction, contract and safety management, sustainability in built environment, facilities management in large complexes, real estate project implementation and monitoring, and affordable housing. Management in action, social, economic or ethical issues can be part of the core subjects in the syllabus for the final semester. Most universities insist on a project and/or summer internships between the two years of study.
