3. The Department of Real Estate (NUS DRE) traces its origin to 1969 when degree courses in
both building and estate management were first offered in the then Department of Building
and Estate Management. This was subsequently changed to the School of Building and Real
Estate. In June 2000 the Faculty changed its name to the School of Design & Environment. As a
result of this change Building and Real Estate were established as separate departments.
Contributing to Singapore and Beyond
Globally, NUS DRE boasts the largest real estate department across universities. The
Department seeks to advance holistic knowledge of real estate and urban development for
sustainable and inclusive urbanization in Asia through innovative research and teaching. The
Department has an excellent research track record and connection with global research
communities in real estate, urban economics and city planning. The NUS Institute of Real
Estate Studies (IRES) and SDE Center for Sustainable Asian Cities (CSAC) provide platforms and
support for multidisciplinary urban and real estate research. Our faculty come from elite
universities around the world and provide a wealth of cutting-edge academic research and
field expertise to our students.

Accolades

5. “The launch of the MSRE-MBA joint degree programme
between NUS and Renmin University is a timely response to the
increasingly critical demand for professionals who are multi-
talented and well-trained in cross disciplinary practices to meet
the complex challenges of rapid urbanization and sustainable
developments in the real estate business world. This
collaboration offers prospective students the opportunity to
learn from the best in the respective institutions while gaining
an enriching experience through social and cultural networking
and exchanges between the two countries. We believe that
graduates from the programme will be well sought after by the
globalised real estate marketplace.” Professor LAM Khee Poh
Provost’s Chair Professor
Dean, School of Design and Environment
National University of Singapore

6. “This joint double-degree programme between NUS and China’s
Renmin University marks another significant milestone in our
relentless pursuit to continuously equip students with cutting-edge
tools to face the challenges of a rapidly evolving landscape. This
tailored programme combines the best mix of what both universities
have to offer in business and real estate. It is also designed to induct
and prepare students for the complex realities of business in the vast
Chinese market. This course strikes a good balance between
management expertise and practical skills, core elements that will
position students well not only on a regional platform, but also
globally.”
Professor DENG Yongheng
Provost’s Chair Professor
Head, Department of Real Estate
National University of Singapore

7. “Most business programs do not focus on real estate per se as a business curriculum has too
many competing demands. As a result, business graduates who choose to go into real estate
often end up having to take additional real estate courses. On the other hand, real estate
students often find themselves inadequately quipped with finance, marketing and strategy
grounding to contribute meaningfully to running a business. Over the last few decades, the
world outside China has been enthralled by the fast-changing urban landscape in China.
During this period also, the world outside China has seen the rapid integration of the brick-
and-mortar real estate business into the virtual world of capital markets.
The joint master degree program in MSc Real Estate and MBA effectively bridges the real
estate-business gap. More importantly, it takes advantage of Renmin University’s domain
knowledge of the Chinese business environment and NUS’ strength in international real
estate capital markets and asset management. This innovative program by both eminent
institutions is indeed a breakthrough. “Mr. Gerard LEE
