In recent years one of the key defining features of change in the provision of real estate education has been a profound shift towards postgraduate modes both full-time and part-time. Within this the MSc in Real Estate has emerged as the dominant designation. The process has so far been largely spontaneous in character. This presentation explores the potential for developing this designation as the recognised global benchmark of excellence in the provision of entry-level and post-experience postgraduate real estate education. In particular it considers issues of common curriculum development, accreditation and industry recognition. It concludes by considering the potential role of organisations such as ERES and ARES in developing appropriate framework to achieve this goal.
