ABOUT THE
PROGRAMME
The programme consists of taught modules, project
work and a research component. In keeping with
the standing of the University of Cape Town as a
research-intensive and leading university on the African
continent, the new curriculum emphasises intellectual
engagement with the subject matter, by prioritising the
development of critical thinking, problem solving and
conceptual abilities, above and beyond the acquisition of
competence in the performance of professional activities.
This MSc in Property Studies programme is benchmarked
against similar programmes of leading universities
worldwide and is fully accredited by the Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Additionally, to meet
the accreditation criteria of the South African Council
for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP), the
programme offers an optional elective module, Property
Valuation Applications, to achieve registration with
the SACPVP.
The programme comprises five compulsory taught
modules, presented in block weeks over the course of
a year. This is followed by the minor dissertation in the
second year. As such, the programme is well-suited to
part-time students. Full-time students have the option
to complete the programme in one year.
