This module covers different strategies of optimising risk adjusted returns from real assets. It covers mainstream financial asset management strategies and applies them to operational performance of real estate. In this sense it examines management of property portfolios as financial assets and as income generating facilities. It also considers sector-specific strategies for retail, residential, commercial and industrial real estate. Finally, it evaluates key trends that affect financial and operating performance of all real assets including sustainability and climate change, structural changes in the economy, technological change and political changes.

It is focused on performance from the investor perspective and includes modelling the financial performance of portfolios and assets using automated spreadsheets.

-Submission of the Year Abroad Declaration form

-Submission of a course choice form

The penalties for failing to satisfy the above requirements are as follows:

Failure to pass or complete the shell units (BASC0027) will result in the student being transferred to the three year degree programme (UCL Reg 3.2.8.ii) and will be awarded an alternative degree title upon graduation. This alternative degree title will reflect the fact that a student has not fulfilled all the requirements of the BASc with Study Abroad.

Failure to pass or complete the Study Abroad Project (BASC0035) will mean you will carry the Fail on your transcript. You cannot re-sit the assignment.
